I’ve put up a bunch of stories, most get no traction. However on the weekend once in a while I get a message from HN that one of my stories is pretty interesting and I should repost it. While every other service relies completely on some algorithm, it’s good to see a place like HN where people are jumping in and trying to stabilize things.

Wow interesting. I didn’t know that happens. Who contacts you and how?

The moderators email you, I think.

One email used 2017-2019 has the format:

"We thought you might like to know that we put [HN link] in the second-chance pool, so it will get a random placement on the front page sometime in the next 24 hours."

Another I got a few times in 2015 starts:

"[link] looks good, but didn't get much attention. Would you care to repost it? You can do so here: [link]."

Former might be a newer version of the latter, going by email dates.
