Strange. Middle-clicking the link opens a HackerNews frontpage, but copypasting into a new tab shows the article. Presumably the server shoos away referer links? To reduce load maybe somehow? Or maybe something's weird in my own configuration idk.
They explicitly check if the referrer is hackernews and do that.
I had the same issue as you. Had to copy and paste the link.
