Hey Dang now that we have a separate Show HN section , can we please move Show HN posts from the front page to that place (so that they don't appear on the front page anymore ?
Because at the moment 11 out of the top 30 stories are about Show HN.
It seems that now that there is a separate Show Hn section , the posts are getting more traction and in the process appearing on the front page.
- lucb1e 12y agoI wouldn't say get them off the front page, but at least weigh them down.
- muppetman 12y agoI'd love an option in my profile "Don't show show HN"
- melvinmt 12y agoLet's not have Show HN suffer the same fate as "New".
- dang 12y agoI think it's fair for the Show HNs to dominate the front page on their big day. I doubt it will stay that way. If it does stay that way, it'll be a nice problem to have, since that would amount to a renaissance of creative work—at least in quantity if not in quality. (And quantity can lead to quality, too.) In any case, we'll burn that bridge when we come to it, as a teammate of mine used to say. I tend to resist the idea of balkanizing the front page. It seems to me in the essence of HN that you have one front page and everyone's dissatisfied with it.
