Something I've run into repeatedly and I can't tell whether it's the platform, my settings, or just me.

I found a comment on my own intro thread that had been sitting there 20 days. It was the most useful piece of feedback anyone has given me on this platform, someone had taken the time to pull apart my positioning properly, and I only saw it because I happened to be scrolling my own activity. No notification appeared. Same thing again this week with two people who tagged me on launch day. So I was three weeks late to both.

Mine was Semrush's Authority Score. It went from 2 to 5 in a few weeks on a side project and I read it as progress.

Then I pulled the backlink list instead of trusting the summary number. 116 referring domains, up from before. The count of real follow links, the ones search engines actually treat as a vote, was exactly 4. Same as three weeks earlier. Not one more.

What made you guys choose Product Hunt over other launch websites, and did you got good stats/traffic with it ?

And what alternatives did you used for your launches ?
