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?
- TMWNN 2y agoIt's definitely possible clientside; Refind Hacker News browser extension does it at the bottom of the page.

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!
