This is weird. I thought this was a super niche tabletop roleplaying topic. I would never have guessed to see this at the top of hacker news.


Mods can bump any article they find interesting. I've also seen 0 point articles get to the top and fall like lightning from downvotes, or disappear when flagged.


It doesn't have a super amount of votes yet, not sure how the algo works. Do people see different front pages?


I suspect that different user's upvotes influence the rankings differently.

I also think there is sum amount of fuzzing in the system to try and expand the breadth of things that hit the front page.


I have a hunch that upvotes/minute matters too.
