Ask HN: "Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?" threads gone?

Hi hn,

This post is missing from November and December 2025 from the usual whoishiring account [0], is this gone?

I'm aware that the latest posts barely got any comments looking for freelancers and the market sucks, still, I think that those posts are helpful.

> We got rid of the regular freelancer thread because most people were cross-posting between it and "Who Wants to Be Hired". So it's best to post there instead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46108940 .

I miss the Freelancers thread as well. The kind of information you post when you're looking for a freelancer or open to freelance work is really different from typical posts for permanent positions. The freelance posts are going to get lost now within the Hiring thread.

Thought I'd missed something. Agreed.
