I'd have swear before there were more and even a more button at the bottom

It seems to be broken and showing non-Ask content. Bugs happen; email the site admins and they can fix it (footer Contact link).

Seeing the usual 30

entropie 1 hour ago | parent

Same and double checked and noticed I wasn't logged in so i logged in and I see still 30.

I also only see 15, logged in or not. And it is also showing some posts besides Ask/Tell.

I never use this section, though.

I see 30 and a more button, even on a different browser incognito

AnimalMuppet 1 hour ago | parent

I see 15 and no "more", even logged in.

Is it based on browser? I'm running Google Chrome.

I checked in Firefox and Duckduckgo

I guess it could make a difference whether you swear or ask nicely :)

I see 15

Likewise, and that seems to be because this submission is included, immediately prior to which it must have been 14.

You have reached the end of the internet. That is a paywall in front of you. What do you do?

Ride the shady web archiving engine that inexplicably seems to go in an out without a problem. Then download the rest of the internet.

Me to my AI hardness: "Go commit a few felonies and get me internet Gold++"

Also, the site is loading really slow for me now.

I don't regularly check Ask HN so I'm uncertain that more should be listed, although I would expect so. But assuming you haven't, the correct place to contact is hn@ycombinator.com which can be found at the contact link at the bottom of the page.

same (well 15, but it's limited)

Looks like someone vibecoded and pushed without a review. Been observing too many bugs across X, Cursor etc

gchamonlive 1 hour ago | parent

Vibecoding on hn admin plane would be ironic but I think it's improbable

Please subscribe for 15 more

bigwheels 1 hour ago | parent

I noticed this today as well, showing 15 but it seems short and it used to be paged.

Wow this is the first time I've seen a real visible bug on HN.

If you want to see the uncurated slushpile, check /asknew instead of /ask. It's documented in the Lists link at the bottom of the page.

maybe you installed a "Hacker news without AI" addon or script?

(OP is not asking about the frontpage, but rather about https://news.ycombinator.com/ask, which shows text posts, mostly questions that usually begin with "Ask HN".)

The answer is that not enough posts are getting upvoted on https://news.ycombinator.com/asknew (or https://news.ycombinator.com/newest) to clear the small threshold necessary to make it to /ask.

This has been happening for a while. Not sure what the solution is. Sometimes I go to /asknew myself and upvote the ones that seem good enough to make it to /ask, if not the frontpage, but that's a manual operation and I rarely have time.

I suppose we could fill in the empty slots with posts from /asknew but then not sure how we would pick them...

> Not sure what the solution is

Is it a growing pattern or cyclical in some way? Does it need a solution or will it work itself out in time?

is there any place to find a full list of HN's lists? obviously there's the "lists" link at the bottom of the page but that is missing some, e.g. the above /ask (but /asknew is there?) and some others i've heard of but don't remember the link for e.g. a list of comments detected to be anti-ai

edit: just noticed /ask probably isn't there because it's in the navbar, lol. but still

> is there any place to find a full list of HN's lists?

What I wondered: Is there another list for e.g. my own comments? I would like to have a page with all my comments, so I could search in them. Is there already a way to instruct HN to provide this, or do I need to make my own crawler?

I've thought about submitting a "What are you listening to" question to get conversation about music and podcasts going, would that be an acceptable question to ask?
