Ask HN: How often do you check HN?

1 pointsCr0s4y ago1 comments

Once a day? Multiple times a day, during every break, workdays only or whenever there is a good thread?

I'm still trying to find balance in checking the site but sometimes it feels like it's the same 5 posts for days and sometimes good discussions pop up multiple times a day.

I'd rather not be looking through HN 10 times a day, but missing interesting posts because of this also feels like a waste.

I used to check the front page about twice a day and the newest section anywhere from one to ten times a day depending on how busy I am. Now I've set up phihole to automatically block HN during my workday, so I don't spend too much time doomscrolling to see what the latest in Ukraine is.
