Very cool. Here's a similar ranking that takes average scores into account. It surfaces a lot of the smaller domains that get a lot of HN love: https://hnleaderboard.com
(cough cough reddit)
Shawn: we know HN is curated. The mods do a good job, that is why it is not a shithole like reddit.
Find a new hobby instead of being obssessed with someone else's platform like an angsty fixated five year old.
Neither are perfect though. A lot of the best articles come from the BBC. Yet because so many people submit (and resubmit) BBC articles, they have an awful per-posting score.
I think you’d want to pre-filter by submissions that actually got some traction (made it to the front page?) and then look at the score distribution.
