Jokes seem inconsistent on HN. Sometimes I'll see a good, quick one and it'll be upvoted (which honestly I'm fine with; jokes are fun) and sometimes they'll be downvoted immediately. But the common theme I always noticed with jokes and HN is that, even when they're upvoted, they don't turn into mega pun threads like Reddit's do. I rarely see a joke just keep going on HN. In the end I think the HN and Reddit audiences are different. Yeah there is overlap but I don't think there is a ton of overlap.
