It's missing "highlights" at https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights

... which, anecdotally, I learned about JUST after getting a comment on there. Imagine my surprise at learning about this (in a manner totally unrelated to the post I wrote that made it to the list), and seeing my own writing as the most recent item on the list.

Truman show vibes for sure.



Interesting! Is there something similar for stories?


Not at present. The links aragonite mentioned all exist, but are determined by upvotes. The /highlights page (for comments) is a manually curated list. But if anyone sees a comment that's good enough to be on /highlights, please let us know at hn@ycombinator.com. We don't want to be the only ones finding these things!


There's "best" (Highest-voted recent links), "classic" (Frontpage as voted by ancient accounts) and "active" (Most active current discussions):

I wonder how you'd qualify for "classic".


Apparently the account must be created before 2/13/2008:

That was because HN got its public start in Feb 2007 and pg wanted to look at users who had joined in the first year.
