It goes both ways all the time, things from the Greater Internet Hive Mind get posted on HN or HN posts get regurgitated by the Greater Internet Hive Mind. Occasionally, the cud goes back and forth multiple times (as cuds do), for instance there've been cases of HN->social media->media coverage->HN posts about the media coverage. The order and the participants can also vary, of course.
