Not sure if you will still see this, or if you are the right address, but anyway.
Just thinking ahead ... does this mean that for next 5 months, any subject related to Ryelang is not really desired on HN? For example, let's say that I integrate a game engine and write a post about that with examples and make a live database backend for the Rye contexts. Is this all still considered incremental releases / follow up?
- zem 2y agothe point of "related threads" is not "this is a redundant post and should not have been made", it's more "other discussions have happened around the same general topic; if you are interested in this post you can go check out the older ones too"
- middayc 2y agoI was asking about "quasidupe". But I don't want to extend this thread any longer.
- pvg 2y agoNo, it doesn't mean that, it's just posts that are likely to result in a generic discussion about Rye rather than the specific thing being posted are probably going to get moderated as qdupey. Hypothetical example: added some feature and posted the documentation link to it - good chance of qdupery. Blog post discussing something you implemented, a specific problem you encountered and solved (or didn't) in the process, maybe some design you are mulling - probably seen as less of a followup. Posting your stuff + some indication you're around to discuss it - typically also reduces followupness. You can also just email hn@ycombinator.com and ask the mods. The whole thing is relatively woolly/porous, the goal is to avoid obvious repetition, not to lock you out of posting about your work on HN.
- middayc 2y agoOk, thanks a lot, for the explanation.
