If engagement is the priority, my suggestion would be to build this curation into HN itself instead of using a post on a separate blog. Give the admins a way to tag a comment as highlighted, then present those comments in some visually distinct way and add a link to the nav that jumps you to a list of all highlighted comments.
- shawn 8y agoNot a good idea. Some of the admins don't have very good taste, for starters. They also play favoratism, and whether your comments do well on HN is highly dependent on whether they (dis)like you. PG also tried something like that by highlighting users with high average karma. It fractured the community.
