A few times I've compared the same programming article here and on proggit - and the later always had deeper comments. Maybe it's not surprising, since that's the focus of proggit, but only one of several here.

I've also twice noticed the same usernames on reddit and HN - and their comments on reddit are more helpful and intelligent than here... Though not a conclusive sample size, it does make me think that reddit's concentration of communities (with subreddits), and the ability to easily skip bad comments (with collapsing [-]) seems to be working.

But I find the stories submitted here are better than on reddit.
