    It's very likely because it's the only thing you're posting, the system treats that kind of posting as potentially spammy. You can post your own stuff of course but the purpose of the site is curiosity and interestingness rather than promotion so if your behaviour looks promo-ish, your submissions will typically do less well.

      My angle has been to use Glama's blog as a sort of diary of interesting findings while working on the product, rather than promoting any parts of the product. I understand the logic behind why a restriction such as this one would be imposed, but I still find it odd limitation as it appears to be based purely on the domain name being shared rather than the content being shared.

There's lots of mod comments explaining this but a very stripped down explanation is that posting the same/related stuff over and over is repetitive and boring which is the opposite of the aim of HN. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=curiosity%20repetition%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...
