Comparing Imgur to HN is comparing apples to oranges in my opinion, they have different purposes and target audiences.

Target audiences:

  Imgur - General public.

  HN - Technical people, hackers, business people, founders.
Purposes:

  Imgur - People submit funny/touching/stupid/whatever images and people post comments

  HN - People post interesting/thought-provoking articles/sites and discuss them.


Imgur used to have a great community. Even though it was a large community it was still good fun.

Now? Not so much.

I'm not sure how the community collapsed so fast or if it can be rescued.
