- phnofive 5y agoFor your curiosity: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=hacker+news+algorithm https://hn.algolia.com/?q=hacker+news+algorithm It's considered acceptable to repost an article for a second try, so long as you don't delete the original. It's mostly just timing, though I have bookmarked a few users' profiles for a shortcut to curation :)
- akiselev 5y agoDo you mind sharing some of those bookmarked users? I haven't even thought about using HN that way
- neuronic 5y agoAt least it isn't really subject to arbitrary moderation like on reddit. I have a pretty good idea what posts are sensible on hn. However, I keep posting stuff on r/de (German subreddit) and mods remove it or let it pass at a whim even though very clear rules have been established over the years. Sometimes thread types which I have clearly seen before with hundreds of upvotes are removed because of violating content rules. The next day someone posts a picture of a frog and it's sitting at 2.6k upvotes (I think the Wednesday frog meme is super embarrassing but anyway...)
