On: Noob stories on HN

[geerlingguy]

What is this? I don't quite get it. Looks like a page of stories that simply didn't make it to the front page...

[csallen → geerlingguy]

They're stories submitted by newly-created accounts.

It appears to be a page of stories with new users.

Possibly intended as a quasi-response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7445761 ?

Not a response to that story but I accidentally discovered /noobstories while searching for a link to the feature suggestion thread for a comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7445761. I then discovered https://news.ycombinator.com/lists while skimming the feature suggestion thread.

Funny how I missed those two for years despite finding four out the six things on /lists individually. Is /lists linked to from a static page on HN?

It's the leftmost link in the footer.

Now that's embarrassing. Apparently I never bothered clicking that link. Maybe "User/comment lists" would have been more encouraging, if a bit clumsy-looking.

Wow, noobstories are awful https://news.ycombinator.com/noobstories

[pedalpete → geerlingguy]

It's all posts by new users only (hence the green user name)

It's not a summary; it's a feature of HN itself. It's at /noobstories.
