Ask HN: A way to view the top rated posts/comments of all time?
I just thought that this would be a really useful feature. Or, is there a hidden way to do this already via hnsearch.com, for example?
- ColinWright 15y agoNot necessarily of all time, but at the bottom of nearly every page is "Lists": http://news.ycombinator.com/lists http://news.ycombinator.com/lists That gives you: leaders Users with most karma. best Highest voted recent links. active Most active current discussions. bestcomments Highest voted recent comments. noobstories Submissions from new accounts. noobcomments Comments from new accounts. You can ask for items with more than a certain number of points: http://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=400 http://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=400 You'll probably find that still only pulls things that are currently in cache.
- chromium 15y agoI've seen lists... but unfortunately those only have "recent" posts.
- ColinWright 15y agoTo the best of my knowledge that's the best you can do. My understanding from snippets I've picked up here and there is that older items are on disk and not searched for these sorts of questions. To do so would be a significant increase on load on the server, I'd guess, especially if it became popular.
