I am not much of a social networking type of person, but I have wondered how nice it would be to network with a community like HN. For example, I see a nice comment chain going on in some news article, but as the article dies so does all the conversation within it.
Maybe it's just me but if I see an article is x+ hours old (15+ for example), I don't bother commenting.
What type of social networking would HN use for non personal(not for family and immediate friends) communication? (I've tried hnchat.com, it's mostly inactive imho)
- jumpkickhit 10y agoYeah, I'd be happy to see an active IRC channel for HN. Though, I doubt many would use it since IRC is way past being en vogue.
- itchyjunk 10y agoI like IRC still. For example, the science based channels in freenode.net is pretty good. #biology, ##physics and ##math. Might not be the worst of ideas for a mod to make one for us :s (provided they already have an IRC client going, it wouldn't be too much added hassle).
- amelius 10y agoI think HN disables commenting after X hours for every post. Perhaps HN could introduce email notifications (e.g., if somebody replies to one of your comments/posts, you get a notification by email).
- lcnmrn 10y agoSublevel.net has a nice community. Why don’t you join in?
- thomastjeffery 10y agoNotifications are the only feature I really miss comparing HN to Reddit.
