620 comments now .. it's a chatfest.

The HN ranking eschews chatfest links*, clearly enough people know about it and are diving right in talking backwards and forwards, it's "hot" on the newcomments view:

and doesn't require "frontpage" pimping (according to the ranking weights chosen) <shrug>

( * there's some downpressure from the Votes Vs Comments ratio, threads with many votes can frontpage despite the baggage of comments )

It was #23 on the front page when you made this comment: https://hnrankings.info/41341353/

This isn't true. I don't know what censorship algorithm they run and what they show to bots vs. users, but if a link isn't there - then it's not there.

It is currently still #28 and hnrankings.info agrees. If you cannot see it there, maybe you accidentally pressed the hide button.
