Also (additionally to my other comment), I want to say, that I am cautiously optimistic about communities that are rising on the Fediverse right now. What HN brings to the table for its selection of themes, can do other channels for different topics there.

With the recent Reddit controversy, we see a drift of high quality contributers away from reddit. They've been sharing / discussing their knowledge for free before and I assume they're looking for places to continue doing so.

That actually makes sense. Huge platforms taking a hit often result in such migrations. And yes, high-value and high agency people end up making these places so much better.
