They happen a fair bit[0], you probably just glossed over them maybe. [0] https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=%22launch%20hn%22&sor

  I just tried looking through HN when not logged in, and I did in fact find several Launch HNs, the first as the 102th post. However, when I looked through the same pages when logged in, those Launch HNs did not appear; they were also not on my “Hidden” list. (I regularly hide YC hiring announcements, and those did show up on my “Hidden” list.) So I think my impression that I was not seeing Launch HNs was correct. I just tried changing my “showdead” setting to “yes.” The Launch HNs now appeared when I was logged in, and they continued to appear after I changed the “showdead” setting back to “no.” So the “showdead” setting of “no” seems to have been hiding the Launch HNs for me, and changing that setting from “no” to “yes” and back to “no” seems to have fixed the problem, at least for now. Edit: “Launches” now appears for me as the last category on the “Lists” page [1], too. I'm nearly certain that the category didn’t appear on that page previously.

    There's no way that "showdead" should be affecting which Launch HN posts you see, since those aren't dead. You're right that we only expanded /lists recently. That was when https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 came out.
