I have this experience more with HN rather then Reddit. Granted that the popular subreddits are quite overloaded with "normies" but I still visit lesser know communities that still keep their spirit and a solid user base.
HN on the other hand suffers from having just "one subreddit" and it became quite bad over the past years.
