FWIW, the original source url is paywalled for me (in .au)
(Perhaps the "right" way to do it for HN would be to post the original url even if its paywalled, and add a comment with an archive/paywall-busting link as well?)
- dang 3y agoYes, that's the intention, but it's all done informally, such as in my GP comment. Maybe someday we'll add more formal support for it to the software. Or did I miss something you meant?
- bigiain 3y agoNope. nothing missed! In your roadmap for "more formal support", perhaps a way to pin the original submitters first comment to the top might be worth consideration? So that a comment providing an archive or non-paywalled link doesn't end up buried by the top comments in the following discussion? That could also help out with the occasions when "editorialising" the title is a thing the submitter would otherwise be tempted to do?
