Ask HN: Is something happening with HN's ranking algo? 2 points by vitalique 11y ago ↗ HN I think I started to see a lot more submissions with relatively low number of upvotes and even smaller number of comments on the front page.
[–] valarauca1 11y ago ↗ 10-20 is the normal threshold to make the front page, the past few days haven't exactly reflected this, due to large influx of Apple related posts.
[–] jacquesm 11y ago ↗ Stories hit the frontpage when they have 3 upvotes, and sometimes stories get a second run at it.
