  Dan, is there a way to automatically add related older discussions to the top of a new item, in a similar way to submitting the same URL within a certain time will take you to the existing discussion rather than create a new one?

    It's definitely possible clientside; Refind Hacker News browser extension does it at the bottom of the page.

    HN does that if the URLs are identical (or nearly identical) and a submission has had significant attention in the last year or so. But for related stories that have different URLs, it's a harder problem. Our intention is to build support for this that will be community-curated. Someday!
