In case anyone is wondering, what motivated me to submit this was simply the fact that while I've known about this section forever, a quick poll of people I know who visit HN revealed that it wasn't common knowledge.<p>I have no idea why this and other sections (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/lists" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/lists</a>) aren't linked from the main page in a prominent visible manner - especially /best which is great for people like me who check in every few days.
The "Best" link is for recent (for some value of "recent"), top-rated submissions. For all-time, top-rated submissions:<p><a href="https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=+&sortby=points+desc" rel="nofollow">https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=+&sort...</a><p>I wrote a previous post with some other "points-related" queries here:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4659939" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4659939</a>
