That is still against the HN rules, and it downweights votes made through direct links for those reasons. (highlighting a submission without using a direct link is the primary voting manipulation game on the said other site, and there have been some unique innovations)

The only rule is against asking people to upvote you. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html Letting people know that your link is on HN is not against the rules. Hackernews-button didn't get any comments from mods. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5782081 Neither did hn-button. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5782081 (PG did say he was afraid this kind of thing would have negative effects, but that was 5 years ago and no rule change since. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2934178 )
