Honestly it would help me if people just posted the link themselves if they found it interesting. Whenever I do it it's frowned upon for 'self promotion' even though people find it very interesting and useful. Maybe that's the play!
- detaro 7y agoThe repost rule doesn't care who posts it.
- mayeaux 7y agoIf I read the rules and ctrl+f for repost I only find: 'Please don't delete and repost the same story. Deletion is for things that shouldn't have been submitted in the first place.' Which rule are you referencing?
- detaro 7y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html > Are reposts ok? If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok. (I had forgotten that was on the FAQ page or I'd have referenced it explicitly - it's a bit weird it's in there)
- mayeaux 7y agoThe link directly to my Github repo received attention, but a post that is to the live instance has yet to receive any significant attention. The two things are separate, one is a source code that hypothetically does something, the other is a legitimate file-hosting platform.
