It's missing "highlights" at https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights
... which, anecdotally, I learned about JUST after getting a comment on there. Imagine my surprise at learning about this (in a manner totally unrelated to the post I wrote that made it to the list), and seeing my own writing as the most recent item on the list.
Truman show vibes for sure.
- CharlesW 3y agoInteresting! Is there something similar for stories?
- aragonite 3y agoThere's "best" (Highest-voted recent links), "classic" (Frontpage as voted by ancient accounts) and "active" (Most active current discussions): https://news.ycombinator.com/lists https://news.ycombinator.com/lists
- oblio 3y agoI wonder how you'd qualify for "classic".
- aragonite 3y agoApparently the account must be created before 2/13/2008: https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented#hacker-news-classic https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented#hacker...
- dang 3y agoThat was because HN got its public start in Feb 2007 and pg wanted to look at users who had joined in the first year. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38779197 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38779197
- dang 3y agoNot at present. The links aragonite mentioned all exist, but are determined by upvotes. The /highlights page (for comments) is a manually curated list. But if anyone sees a comment that's good enough to be on /highlights, please let us know at hn@ycombinator.com. We don't want to be the only ones finding these things!
