Side-comment: is there a type of shadowban with HN where my posts do not make it into the frontpage, even 2 or 3 or more pages deep?
I've seen this with a few of my posts recently where they appear in the 'new' and 'show' or 'ask' tabs, but not the frontpage.. even 300 posts deep while similarly aged and upvoted posts are on second page.
edit: now it's on the frontpage! Guess it just had to hit a vote threshold.
- darepublic 4y agoI clicked into this off the front page.
- gravitronic 4y agoJust updated my comment, I guess there's some other criteria or age to hit before it gets ranked.
- TheFreim 4y agoI believe that text posts are ranked lower than links.
- dredmorbius 4y agoAmong other weighting factors, HN-as-customer-support-of-last-resort posts have recently started being downweighted. See: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34444459 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34444459>
