My go-to "trick" is to check /new beforehand. If the last post on the first page is posted under an hour ago, odds are whatever you post is gonna be burried very quickly afterwards.
If there's less things posted to /new at that particular time, it seems a bit more likely someone gets a chance to interact with it before it disappears from that first page of /new.
- AlexAndScripts 3y agoInteresting. I was wondering why my recent show HN posts were significantly less successful than a (imo not as good) post on a similar topic the day before.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoIs there some kind of graph of HN activity which shows the highs and lows? Sounds liie it would be wise to post during the lower traffic periods.
