Ask HN: Do y'all sit here just looking at each url pop up to engage?

Posted by vanessa1211 on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @03:02AM
from the ask-hn dept.

So I can see that people are engaging with posts and they have very good engagement too. But when I am posting and asking a question, there is no one who is answering my question. Is there something that I am missing out on?

Some people only seem to look at the front page. But of course stuff wouldn't get there without engagement. Problem is if a site like this reveals the answer it would just get gamed.

Scan for topics that interest me when deciding what to interact with. Topics about engagement are interesting, since there is definitely something very specific about posts that make people want to engage. Could be your username, could be the subject, or maybe it's just random?

The URLs have a lot more depth in them to engage with.
