I get your point.

Thanks for being so upfront on the advice, and it's something I'll definitely consider.

What I was curious about is why is HN regarded as such a good place to promote your own work, if in general, this sort of posts are frowned upon?

Makes sense.

Thanks for this!

Thanks for sharing this.

My website is a newsletter with python tutorials so that's why I didn't submit it to Show HN, where from what I understood from the rules is not permitted.

All in, I get the idea. Engage with the community and participate in discussions before doing self-promotion, which makes a ton of sense.

Yeah it's definitely confusing if you're completely new to these types of forums.

Thanks for the vouch, hope I'm able to share some stuff here soon.

Not sure if Our World in Data (https://ourworldindata.org/) qualifies to the type of non-profit you're asking about.

But they've built an amazing resource to learn more about the world.

Thanks!

I've read these but I still don't fully understand why my posts with an associated url are not showing up and this one did...

Do I need a certain amount of karma before I can post links to other sites?

Should I first engage in other people's comments before submitting some of my own stuff?
