- eganist 6y ago> dupe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24148796 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24148796 I found this out recently: HN doesn't have a programmatic de-duping system the way Reddit does, so they permit multiple submissions of the same link and don't dedupe until one gets traction. If a link has already had some amount of discussion on it and it's resubmitted soon after, that's when they de-dupe.
