I’m gratified to see my humble contribution receive attention, including from you. I’m learning. So thanks.
This is my first independent posting (I’ve commented before) and I didn’t notice it appearing in the front page “latest posts”. I understand you are a LW organisor. Can you help me understand the trigger criteria for an article to appear under “latest posts”? Thanks a lot! JH
Latest Posts follows a hackernews algorithm, where things appear in Latest Posts based on how much karma they have, and how recent they are. Your post has relatively low karma (most likely because the topic wasn’t that novel for LW readers), so it probably appeared for a few hours in the Latest Posts column and then eventually moved off the bottom of the page.
(By now, a 4 days later, it most likely is appearing in Latest Posts but you have to click ‘load more’ many times before it’ll show up)
