Is there a way to sort/filter by score on Hacker News?
1•7gorillaz•1h ago
New here and genuinely enjoying the signal-to-noise ratio compared to other forums. One thing I haven't been able to figure out: is there a native way to filter or sort stories by score beyond the default front page ranking? I checked the FAQ and didn't see it addressed directly.
I ask because the front page algorithm weights recency heavily, and I'm looking for a way to surface the highest-quality posts over a given timeframe — not just what's new.
Thanks in advance.

If you only check HN every other day, or every other week, then the /best might work for you.

On https://news.ycombinator.com/best you can set a URL parameter how far to look back.
The search works without setting a query, for example https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=fal...
