Hacker News Reader

Try posting on LinkedIn as though you are on Hacker News. That’s how I approach it. Authenticity is rare on the platform and there a shortage of relatable, likeable content.

I do fairly well just posting about the problems I’m working on and the puzzles I’m trying to solve.

I follow a few environmental researchers, climate scientists, and several large mining companies relevant to my role. I find Linkedin to be a pretty good way to get information I wouldn't otherwise seek out that is relevant to my industry niche. The trash inspirational stuff is rare for me and it is easy to bypass. I use scrolling and liking stuff to train the algorithm to keep giving me industry news.

> I do fairly well

That's an interesting statement. I don't use LinkedIn at all any more (deleted my account when MS bought it), so I'm wondering what "do fairly well" means?

Is it a measurement of attention or something?
