I started on digg, hackaday and slashdot, before moving here when those services crumbled (afaict had is still going strong, my interests changed a bit though!

I think if yc fell, communities may segregate a bit into different interest groups.

I’m sure there’s a few yc quality subreddit’s also, If you can stand the user hostile ux

This is similar to my experience. Slashdot, digg, reddit, then HN. HN hasn't really declined (I think I matured) but I still find some nuggets.

I'd like to see a group like early $PLACE on something like IPFS or whatever to keep the bar high enough.

>If you can stand the user hostile ux

old.reddit.com is still available, which is only slightly user hostile. There's a setting to default to it if you're logged in, otherwise it's pretty trivial to either install an extension or write a userscript to automatically redirect you to that subdomain.

There's also Teddit[1], which I use most of the time I want to look at Reddit now. It's been discussed on HN before[2].

That is one of the slowest websites I’ve ever tried to use! Too bad to, because it’s a great idea.
what would be those subs?

at least on mobile you can use Boost or Sync, but on desktop it's more difficult, really only old.reddit.com and experience is vastly inferior to mobile apps
