If I find info/stories interesting and worth sharing I will share it on HN. Now the point is that I should also try to make conscious decisions on when it is most likely to get votes? (Different time zones/regions = different preferences).
But I understand that no votes should maybe not count as dup.
The point is just that you shouldn't link empty discussions as "duplicates", unless they got many votes but no comments (happens rarely), or something has been submitted repeatedly (e.g. some people submit the same thing every two days). Submissions don't get traction for whatever reasons all the time, no need to fret over it.
