Effectively a dupe - this just got attention 3 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39672947 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39672947, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39677009 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39677009) and 8 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38144417 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38144417).
Once a year has been suggested as the typical maximum frequency: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868 . Consider reposting in 2025.
Also, coordinating comments and upvotes won’t do you any favors. It’s an easy way to get all submissions banned.
- _cart 2y agoThis is _not_ a repost from our perspective. This is a massive new chunk of features and content (993 pull requests from 256 contributors) including new hot-topic features like Virtual Geometry.
- troydavis 2y agoPlease reread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868. It says one year since it received significant attention, not one year except when a massive chunk of features and content is added. Dan explicitly addresses that case (“but that only applies after the "significant attention" test has been passed”).

- littlestymaar 2y agoPlease reread it yourself: this isn't a “show HN” submission. The relevant comment is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428 And as you can see, the criteria is “Whether or not it contains significant new information (SNI)” which is indeed exactly the opposite of what you are saying.
- pvg 2y agoThe GP comment is a bit overstated (I doubt anyone is going to ban Bevy posts) but Bevy has had plenty of recent exposure on HN and most release posts are moderated away on HN because the discussion is almost always about the project in general rather than the release, unless the changes are truly monumental. A long modsplanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428 Recent big Bevy articles: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38144417 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38144417 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39412940 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39412940 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36657970 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36657970 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39672947 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39672947 That's your last three releases plus something about a foundation, in the last year alone. It's great it's getting traction but it's also quite a bit more than most other projects as it is.
- Narishma 2y agoI'd rather have a few bevy posts every month than the daily deluge of AI articles.
- pvg 2y agoSure but I can't see how such a trade is either possible or on offer - it's one of the things discussed in the modsplanation blob.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoThe issue is that that refers to "Show HN" posts. If some engaged dev posts your updates, how is thst different from spamming every Opeani update? That's just organic interest, given that this is the one of the most well known Rust game engines, a mix of two topics that traditionally get attention here
- tbillington 2y ago> to qualify as a new Show HN there needs to be some major new development, not just a new feature One could argue a major version qualifies. Apart from the genuine dupe 3 months ago all of these are separate stories. dang's comment also specifically covers "show hn" posts which this is not. Some clarification from dang would be helpful though.
- troydavis 2y agoYour quote omits the portion where Dan explicitly addressed that case. It needs to be one year since it received “significant attention,” and also major new development. Dan’s post could be worded more clearly, though. (We’re pretty far in the weeds here, but as long as we’re here – for all intents and purposes, this is a show HN.)
- mrtracy 2y agoIt appears that Show HN has special algorithmic handling, which is why you would expect stricter rules.
- troydavis 2y agoGood point - I just linked to the first relevant explanation. pvg linked to a much longer explanation that isn’t specific to, or about, Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428
- johnnyanmac 2y ago>for all intents and purposes, this is a show HN I don't really see how. Is it a Show HN because Bevy isn't a trillion dollar corporation making the news every other day?

- CooCooCaCha 2y agoWhat a bad faith comment. How is a new version announcement a dupe? If you don’t care then you don’t have to comment.
- troydavis 2y agoDon’t rely on my assessment, go read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868. If you disagree, don’t tell me, suggest an improvement to Dan.
- CooCooCaCha 2y agoThese are different articles being posted, not dupes.
- troydavis 2y agoThanks for editing out the line where you told me to go get my brain checked.
- CooCooCaCha 2y agoNot sure what you’re talking about. Perhaps you saw a different comment.

- timeon 2y ago> don’t tell me You are the one initiative here.
- littlestymaar 2y agoYou've pointing a a “Show HN”, it obviously doesn't apply to other kinds of posts (or are you gonna limit OpenAI's announcement links to once a year too ? ;)
- littlestymaar 2y ago> Effectively a dupe - this just got attention 3 months ago Wait until you realize Rust new version makes it to the front page every 6 weeks… (It's a bit less true these days because Rust release are much more boring than they used to, but it was definitely the case just a couple years back)
