Ask HN: Why is Ask HN only showing me 14 posts?

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

    (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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

        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

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

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

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

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

      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.

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

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

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

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