In SN post, show links from other SN posts to it about stacker.news HOT 8 OPEN

It's mostly the screen real estate I'm concerned about.

Maybe: 100 sats \ 3 comments \ 5 refs

Still, a lot to look at. Alternatively:

from stacker.news.

For sure. I'd love that.

Would you like to add a cost to cite other posts since it is going to create a comment (and comments are not free)?

from stacker.news.

No, no cost, we want to incentivize linking to other content for evergreenness

I also don't think we want to have it as replies, maybe references could be in the "related" section with some special indicator or inside an own section? But these sections don't show for comments (even if they are the root item of the page), so mh.

from stacker.news.

Agreed, it shouldn't create a comment.

Without a better idea, I think it should just be a link in the overflow menu, ie the ... on the item perhaps shown as X references.

When clicked it takes you to a page like the related page: https://stacker.news/items/522161/related

from stacker.news.

We could also show it in the item info 100 sats \ 3 comments \ 5 references if references > 0. That would work for comments, too.

But maybe that's too prominent

from stacker.news.

what about a second dropdown next to or under related posts labeled referenced by ?
