Is there such a thing as a "reddit-like post"? They have a squillion subreddits for all kinds of different subjects. I sometimes see posts which I'd upvote if it was on reddit, but which I ignore or even flag if I see it here, because the two communities are (and should be) vastly different. As a regular on both, it's sometimes difficult to remember to 'change my hat' when I log in. Advice: Try to remember that any time you upvote a submission, you're encouraging more of the same type of submission. For instance, I often make a point of upvoting submissions from people trying to engage the community, eg "look at this thing I made", "can I get some feedback on my product", "we just launched" and so on. Because that's the kind of stuff I want to see on HN. Real things made by real hackers; the stuff you won't see in the mainstream press because it was just made by this one guy. I flag stories which I know I'm going to read all over twitter and reddit and BBC news because, well I'll read about it there. HN, for me, isn't just a "top web news" place. If you're anything like me, you already know what the big stories are before you check HN. It's the smaller things that are more interesting. One thing that always impresses me, though, is that the HN community can make even a 'boring' story fascinating through their comments and discussions, so that can make even 'bad' submission worthwhile.
