There are pros and cons of submitting content to social news sites during high-activity hours versus low-activity hours.

High-activity hour submissions: pros
• More votes
• More visitors
• More comments and engagement

High-activity hour submissions: cons
• Content gets filtered out of “new” or “upcoming” sections more quickly
• Visitor bounce rate may be higher due to content noise
• Engagement may be lower due to content noise

Low-activity hour submissions: pros
• Less noise
• More face-time on the “upcoming” or “new” sections.
• Easier front page promotion (speculative)

Low-activity hour submissions: cons
• Fewer visitors
• Fewer votes
• Greater foreign audience (this isn't necessarily a bad thing but it depends on what the content is)
• Less comments and engagement
