- allisdust 5y agothanks! this one works.
- wongarsu 5y agoHN did that because the page claims that's the right URL. The header of the page you linked contains <link rel="canonical" href="https://topstartups.io"> Which basically says "https://topstartups.io https://topstartups.io contains the same content and should be the preferred URL for this".
- krapp 5y agoThis has happened often enough that I'm surprised someone hasn't added a check for it. At the very least, you'd think there should be an interstitial page asking for confirmation if the posted url doesn't match the canonical url.
- ziggus 5y agoI thought that referring to your base URL in a canonical tag was a bad idea - why would they do this, since the content on each of the two pages is different?
- joshmanders 5y agoInteresting. Was this someone at HN updating based on that or does the submission system automatically use canonical over submitted url if present?
