The thing with sites like reddit, HN and the like is that they don't promote "identity" like IRC, forums and others. Like, I'm replying to you, we are being "social" , but mostly we will interact in this thread and call it a day. There's no push to form community or some longer term interaction.
In the late 90s early 2000s I was very into a game called Tactics Arena Online, and we had several great communities.
