it would make sense to post
It's a natural assumption but it's actually the opposite of how HN works since two threads about roughly the same thing on the front page leads to split discussion (and too much of the same thing) and typically the follow-up gets moderated away. So posting a followup/related thing of a front page ongoing topic makes it more likely the followup won't get traction.
