I think I would enjoy something like this (or pinboard), but with comments. Sort of a smaller version of Hackernews, where I could see what my friends are bookmarking and then write comments on those links, so we could chat about the content not necessarily with random people of the internet but with your smaller community (or maybe with everyone too, but in a different section).

Maybe someone here knows if anything like this exists already? I've taken a look at some of the options out there, but didn't end up trying them because it seemed like they didn't do anything like this, and were more focused on simply storing bookmarks (and maybe sharing them with upvotes, but nothing for conversation).

Hey, that's exactly what I've been building with lynkmi.com! The main idea is social link sharing, curation, and discussion in smaller circles. Have plenty more features coming down the line, including one I'm really excited about for bridging the in-person/online divide, but the general direction is described in lynkmi.com/about

Would love to give you an invite! I think my email is in my profile, if not my DMs on Twitter are open (@TheOisinMoran).

I also just added this to my "lynkmi adjacent" tag too for other related ones to check out: https://lynkmi.com/oisin/lynkmi%20adjacent

Inks from Mr Ted might work for you

You want to use hypothes.is - it allows you to share highlights and comment on them in a private group or publicly
I believe that's called reddit.
Interesting example. Reddit definitely started that way, but over time people went to it for discussion first. So the links actually end up getting ignored if the title of the Reddit post is enough for people to start posting comments right away.
Smells so bad though! I avoid it like I avoid Quora.
Slow clap
