It does seem like a lot of worthwhile submissions are DOA without any positive or negative commentary.
In a different way than it used to be a few years ago, and far more often.
- PaulHoule 2y agoIf you've got the power (enough karma) to flag you also have the power to vouch. If you log into your profile and turn on the showdead flag you can rescue these worthwhile submissions.
- punkpeye 2y agoWhat's enough karma? just curious. I've got almost 600 karma, and my last post before getting shadow banned did really good. I didn't expect everything I post to go to the top, but I was surprised to see that everything else just entirely flopped. Like that piece about LLMs used to optimize sign-ups... I get that it is not going to appeal to everyone, but I personally found it to be a geeky, interesting subject.
- PaulHoule 2y agoAccording to https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/master/README.md#flaggingvouching https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/m... 31 karma is enough to vouch but you cannot vouch your own submissions. I think that's a fine submission but I'd also say that having somebody else take an interest in posts to your blog and submit them is also "social proof" that it is interesting more than you submit yourself. Also if you submit links from a variety of sources I think you are less likely to run into this problem.
