Ask HN: Is it OK to put “share your comments on HN thread” in your blog post?
As an avid HN reader, I sometimes come across blog posts that link to the HN thread. They say something along the lines of "Discuss this on HN", etc. Here's an example that's on the front page right now: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/how-were-building-a-business-to-last/ (Again, I'm not blaming anyone, and I think these guys deserve to be on the front page)
I know that HN has a voting ring algorithm that penalizes direct links (For example, it's a common knowledge that when you share something on HN you should never share the HN link directly), and I'm sure these guys know what they're doing (and apparently so, since it's on the front page, they must be doing something right).
So, I'm curious, is it OK to link to a HN thread from a blog post?
