Check the top comments from this thread “Reddit: Killing a Giant”. I’ve seen our server URL floating around some of the sub comments in Reddit related threads on HN before this week, but this was the first I found linked from the top comment. Comment here if you spot anymore out in the wild. 🏞️

Welcome folks from HN! Feel free to say hello!

    Interesting idea. Even if posting was read only from the rest of the fedaverse perspective, combining that kind of link aggregation for downstream commenting could have merit. Although, it looks like HN already provides an API, so perhaps a community could already be created to mirror the HN feed? I’m just guessing:

      Good point, and by having a shim do it rather than HN itself, you could do it in such a way that it supports enough federation that the fediverse could have its own comment thread under the posts. They wouldn’t propagate back to HN but it could still be cool.
