It does happen sometimes. It’s actually allowed to repost something that didn’t originally get traction, as long as it isn’t excessive.

  I've submitted 11 things on HN. Three things were my content, three I'd seen posted here before that got a lot of comments but hadn't been posted for a while, and the rest were just random things of interest. Had much more success submitting stuff to reddit. So I guess I'll stick to the comment section on HN :)

    11 is not that much. Out of my 442 submissions, only 35 reached the front page and had significant activity (>= 20 points and >= 10 comments). That's an 8% chance of reaching the front page without optimizing anything (apart from the interestingness of the submissions themselves).

      Looking through your submissions, all of those are such interesting topics. It’s a shame there isn’t time and space for all the interesting topics that must be being submitted all the time.

      Those are awful odds. I'll leave HN frontpage to the lucky and the professionals.
