Please ping me when you post a Stacker News post on Reddit/Twitter.
Stacker News is awesome but we won't be able to onboard people without telling anybody. Gotta put more effort in everybody
FYI, there's an account that posts every SN post on Twitter.

I wish there was one for Mastodon. Twitter is dead to me. Elon can go fork himself.

hmm... not ideal for onboarding people. Seems to mainly run into the void
But thanks for the info!

Yeah, it's an unofficial account. And the official one is largely stats about the site which would interest those who already use it.
I'm going to say something possibility controversial; I really like the culture of SN and how it is different from Twitter. If a lot of users come on at once, I'm afraid they won't assimilate to the community and instead bring with them the very things I love getting a break from when I come here.
I know that the user count is generally moving in the right direction. I don't have access to the finances enough to see if it's not moving fast enough to pay the bills though. But for now, I love that builders who create things are getting more attention here than those who are only popular for critiquing them.
If the incentives here are tweaked just right, I think this place can actually become a source of income for those that provide value to SN users and most importantly, Bitcoin users in general. I'm really impressed by some of the earnings of the AMA's, even at this user count.

I fully agree. Great vibe here. I really want to contribute more too in terms of original posts and insights from here in New Zealand.
