Thanks. How do you check if something will be a repost?

Edit: Plugged the article URL into the search bar at the bottom of HN and it worked surprisingly well. Im not sure why, but i had no confidence in that actually working.

You can also just click "past" under the post header.

That doesn't work. It plugs the title into hn.algolia.com which only returns the same thread.

Shouldn't it search for the URL instead?

Am I missing something?

Also, I noticed the tracking parameters are in the URL of the old thread. Shouldn't the mods remove them using https://linkcleaner.app/ or something? I know the parameters are sometimes relevant but still...
