Ask HN: My post not shown in showhn

1 points by witnessme 174 days ago | 2 comments

I posted here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46036970). But after an hour when I scrolled through all the showhn posts, I couldn't find mine. What could be the reason? Am I doing something wrong here?

I'm new here and still learning. Appreciate the help.

Your post is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/shownew?next=46038606&n=61 third page of /shownew, at number 79 right now.

If you were expecting it to show up in the front page or in /show those get ranked on various "interest" factors. Your post has just a single point (the default submission point), which means people didn't find it sufficiently interesting and so it won't show up there. Sorry.

Noted. I can see it on the link you shared. Earlier, I did check until the last page (90+ items) and did not find it. I then checked couple of more times thinking I made mistake. I see that you're using /shownew, I used /show link.
