It really depends on your interests. Most mainstream programming languages have dedicated subreddits, so that's a good place to start. /r/programming is a great place for general programming news, but it usually overlaps with HN. /r/netsec is another excellent subreddit with general security-related news and content.

I think the beauty of Reddit is that it's all up to you to curate the content, which obviously makes it hard to recommend things to read for others :P

Here is a list of my favorite subreddits for anyone who wants an idea of what's available on Reddit:

I'd like to point out that the less general the subreddit, and the fewer visitors it has, the better the content (both submissions and comments) is.

There are some exceptions, and technical subs are generally better than more mainstream ones.

Very awesome, thanks for the extensive list!
