Um, I am also new here. This makes me kinda scared how I will ever be able to post something under /show - I really don't know much about HN yet. Would it ever be allowed that I can ask for feedback for my beta project here? That's what I actually hoped for.

The person I’m replying to posted three or more links to their project in unrelated threads in 24 hours or less. Presumably you will not be quite so aggressive :)

Show HN has been absolutely flooded since generative code AIs became popular, so if the site lets you post a Show HN, then you’re generally welcome to once. If nothing comes of that, best wait a while (like, weeks) while you continue participating.

(I’m not a mod, if dang/tomhow show up and comment then whatever they say takes precedence.)

Oh well, didn't know that. Yea, there is already a hard barrier now before you're even allowed to post something. I will try to participate. Been missing out on HN for way too long it seems. Def. don't want to post any AI slob :D Thanks for reply though

It’s generally a solid rule for any community, though it tends to be much more common IRL or on forums and message boards but less so on ‘link posting’ websites.
