Anything that grabs HN attention (and being on index page means so) is appropriate. HN isn't a tech-and-startups-only site, it's perfectly fine to post other stuff. Especially if that's a cute kitties.
- jessriedel 11y agoEven though you're right that > HN isn't a tech-and-startups-only site, it's not true that > Anything that grabs HN attention... is appropriate. That's why there's moderation. This is written down: > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html I don't think this link is of any intellectual interest. It's just cuteness.
