Lobsters

Lobsters is a computing-focused community built around submitted links and discussion. It launched in 2012 and uses predefined tags that readers can filter or follow, alongside public moderation records and invitation-based registration.

In October 2026, a moderator announced the retirement of the overloaded vibecoding tag and introduced ai-tooling for discussion of the design and development of AI-powered tools. Its published spam guidance also covers content created without meaningful human authorship. The changes distinguish a technical topic from a judgment about submission quality; members disagree about whether this gives readers enough control over AI-generated material.
