Some people post in different timezones, so capture the attention of 'as many as possible', but you are likely correct as previous post was 22h ago (so almost same time yesterday), and not 4/8/12/16/20 hours ago.

I'm not a bot (or am I?) It didn't hit the news tab yesterday, only "new", because my account is newly registered. So I reposted it one more time. Beep boop.

  I get it but for what is worth, the accepted behavior here is that you can repost eventually but you should wait significantly longer than a day before doing so. > Are reposts ok? >If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates. 0. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

    Thank you for clarifying. I will keep that in mind.

    Weeeell, technically a fresh new story hasn't got any attention in the last year or so because it was never posted before, so a small number of reposts - like in this case - should be ok.

      Seems like the resulting attention on the repost makes for decent justification in this case. I'm glad to have seen this, and I don't like the idea of good content slipping through the cracks because of timing and circumstance.

        I can relate and it is something I'm thinking about as I have a post I'd like to try reposting without coming off as spammy. In this case, the repost was indeed worth it as far as I can tell.

        Note that there is a “second chance” pool of posts which did not get much attention but are perhaps more interesting to the community than the engagement suggests. The mods seem to agree with this point, given that. https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool
