<i>&quot;Anyone one else knows what is &#x27;small number of reposts&#x27;  and how often until it gets some votes&#x2F;comments&quot;</i><p>There&#x27;s no guarantee that you&#x27;ll ever get any upvotes or comments, but if your article is interesting, not off-topic (see the guidelines[1]) and not a duplicate or near-duplicate of another article, it has a much better chance.<p>I think that the definition of a &quot;small number&quot; was deliberately left vague, so use your judgement. 2 or 3 sounds like a small number to me, but after I see the sixth repost of an article in a single day I start wishing it would go away already.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsguidelines.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsguidelines.html</a>
