Thanks! I had thought it would make sense to post this chapter of the Reticulum manual separately, as the other post is about Nomad in particular. But since my post here didn't get traction, I repeated my question over there now.
It's a natural assumption but it's actually the opposite of how HN works since two threads about roughly the same thing on the front page leads to split discussion (and too much of the same thing) and typically the follow-up gets moderated away. So posting a followup/related thing of a front page ongoing topic makes it more likely the followup won't get traction.
