I haven’t kept track of how much traffic it brings to the whole website but I have some data about how much traffic it brings to the particular page that is trending on the HN front page: https://susam.net/from-web-feed-to-186850-hits.html https://susam.net/from-web-feed-to-186850-hits.html To summarise that post, it brought me about 95000 hits on the first day. That was a simple, static, standalone HTML page and the traffic was way below what Nginx can handle without breaking a sweat, so never had any trouble on the web server.
