What I used to do before things like reddit would be to research a hot topic on my own. Hear about it, then head to WIkipedia or google the topic. Find other sources writing about it or things that are related to it. If it keeps you interested, you'll be down the rabbit's hole before you know it and a whole lot more informed than what the front page of Reddit has to tell you.
