I can’t speak to that aspect specifically, but I have flip-flopped in the last five years or so. I don’t go there anymore hardly and conversely I find myself using HN a lot more. My decline in usage coincided with some policy changes they made years ago. I still think there are people who will really enjoy lobste.rs over HN. It’s not for everyone (and as of late, not for me).
