HN would be an entirely different place if people could just arrange to get their stuff upvoted onto the front page! We've spent hundreds of hours working on this over the years. Still not perfect of course.
My theory is that a lot of people may have looked for a story like this on the home page and then searched ‘Delve’ to see if anything was submitted recently and then upvoted one of those recently submitted posts.

Yeah, I saw comments discussing delve in another HN story's comments, then searched HN to find this
in some slacks there are regular requests to upvote stuff.
