- christoph-heiss 6y agoI honestly didn’t see the post before and I’m kinda glad that I have now. Not every repost is bad, also timezones and such.
- dang 6y agoYou're absolutely right, but unfortunately we can't customize HN that way; we need a general approach. The problem is that no one, not even those of us who spend excessive time here, sees every thread or even every major thread. HN's front page is a tiny aperture given the firehose that flows through it. We added 'past' to the top bar a few years ago to give people a way to catch up on the biggest threads they missed. Unfortunately relatively few people use it. For example, this month about 4% of logged-in users who've viewed the front page have also used 'past'.
- wolco 6y agoWelcome to the weekend. Expect to see 4-5 pieces that may have appeared already but perhaps were overlooked.
