Hacker News Reader

I know that reddit isn't exactly the most popular thing on HN, but in the past I have gotten a few articles on the frontpage without asking anyone to vote on them. This was a while ago (maybe a year now), but I think reddit's submission process has a while to go before it reaches something like Digg.

If you wait until you're number one on HN and then add a reddit flair to the bottom of the post then it's pretty easy to get enough reddit upvotes to make the front page without asking any of your friends to vote for you. If this doesn't work then just submit to one of the default subreddits, and you'll still make the front page. The only problem is that it'll take a few hours for this to happen so you can't really get above #15 or so, but that's still good for a couple thousand page views.

Reddit has become that big? No wonder nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

subreddits are excellent.
