That's normal.

I'm a nobody (to answer the accusation below) and my submissions of articles that are years old and not recognizably "hot" make it to the front page with only three to five upvotes all the time.

Quick upvotes or comments count for a lot.

When I saw it on the front page, it had only 4 votes. How can that count for anything?

Four upvotes in the first minutes are absolutely a strong signal.
