I've had an email from Dang, I think, in the past, and so has a buddy of mine.
> A submission that you posted to Hacker News looks good, but hasn't had much attention so far. We put it in the second-chance pool, so it will get a random placement on the front page some time in the next day or so.
So there are mechanisms to get new content on to the front page, but they're dependent on Dang noticing them.
- CaliforniaKarl 5y agoNot just that. I and others have noticed submissions that looked interesting but didn’t make front page, and emailed the post ID/link to the HN email address. It’s not a guarantee, but it helps good things from being missed.
