Sadly, it seems it is also the only example. Can you name four or five other subreddits that come close?
I always felt like vommiting when I saw people recommend /r/woodworking, but I couldn't figure out why. I was reading an unrelated critique of /r/fitness one day and somebody summed up my feelings about /r/woodworking perfectly
"/r/_______ is a bunch of beginners masquerading as experts."
r/AskScience, r/AskAnthropology, r/TrueFilm, r/DepthHub and r/TrueReddit are those that come to mind. None of these are some perfect, but neither is HN and IMO you find a lot of great content there that you wouldn't find here.

r/Linux and r/Technology are also good ones for those interested in CS and tech stuff.
The top post in /r/linux right now is a link to imgur that is a screen cap of an Amazon question:
Q: Does this keyboard support Linux?
A: The keyboard is advanced but you can not run Linux on the keyboard.
This is probably not what most people think of when they are looking for serious and in-depth Linux discussions.
