And here I thought "Yay, I can find more people in my area." Nope, it's just me, like I suspected.

- sirobg 2y agoYeah that's the case for some locations indeed. But next time you go on a trip, have a look at the map! You might be able to meet someone interesting there.
- sirobg 2y agoBtw, your socials are not displayed on meet.hn because you modified the text you had to paste in your HN description. Just reporting, in case it wasn't expected. More info in the note here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42411640 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42411640
- hakunin 2y agoYeah I realized, but preferred to keep my own format.
- dang 2y agoYou may be the only one who signed up for this, but I bet there are lots of HN users in your area, for some value of 'lots'. The question is how to connect people with each other.
- ks2048 2y agoHas HN ever published traffic stats by country? Just curious.

- dang 2y agoDoes anyone know how those numbers are generated? e.g. are they one of those outfits that use a browser extension? Those numbers seem mostly in the ranges I posted back in 2018 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16633521 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16633521). But the total views they report at https://www.similarweb.com/website/news.ycombinator.com https://www.similarweb.com/website/news.ycombinator.com is way off. I think they report 11M monthly (I can't view the site anymore), but the actual number was 209M in November. There's a lot of bot traffic in there, though, so it's a bit hard to interpret. Edit: on the other hand, 16% of those 209M hits were by logged-in users, who tend not to be bots, and the ratio of logged-out to logged-in users is always high (I would have said at least 10 to 1), so maybe 209M isn't so far off.
- dang 2y agoI did once, a long time ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16633521 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16633521 (March 2018) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16444556 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16444556 (Feb 2018) It's on my list to do this again!
