How are videos added to HackerTube instead of submitted?
The published methodology applies recurrence and context rules to archived links. That is a collection-building process, not a live submission queue. A video can meet part of the historical criteria without appearing in the snapshot. No regular refresh schedule is established by that documentation.
Should I post on Hacker News to submit a video?
A comment is not an official submission mechanism. Participate only where the material is relevant and follow community guidelines. Do not manufacture mentions or repeated posts to satisfy a threshold. If you build your own directory from the export, your inclusion policy is separate from the original.
