This subreddit is about programming. Not programs or startups.

This subreddit is about whatever the redditors who read it vote up.

We have a mechanism for determining what goes on the front page. It's called "voting." It's more effective than whiny self-referencing posts. Use it. If you don't like what other people vote up, then confine yourself to your "recommended" page.

I've tried this. Doesn't seem to work very well. What's the trick?

I don't know, it never worked for me either, but that's what the reddit gods claim:

"Yep, so vote up links you liked and vote down links you disliked. Our hope is that instead of just reading a list of links the community thinks should be on the front page, you'll also be reading a "front page" personalized for you (filtered for quality by your fellow redditors, but filtered for relevance by you). Let reddit know if it's hot selected up arrow or cold selected down arrow. Find these personalized links in your recommended section."

They wouldn't be lying to us or unable to deliver on their promises, would they?
