I would consider top 10 on HN front page to be "going viral."
- ZephyrBlu 5y agoThat seems like a pretty low bar. When I think viral I don't think, "gets to the top 10 submissions of a niche forum".
- iamben 5y agoI suppose it depends on what you're used to? From my own (and other people's) experiences, you can have a project with a few hundred site visits - get towards the top of HN, and you can have 100k visits over the next few days. A good enough project on HN tends to get coverage elsewhere, a lot of Tweets etc etc.
- saagarjha 5y agoTIL I've gone viral!
- yftsui 5y agoWhat made to top 10 is the article claims the event is going viral, NOT the event itself. The exaggeration on news articles with this type of title has become a pattern.
