I don't submit much, but doesn't the text section of a link submission just get posted as the first comment?

  I don't think so, since most of the submissions I see have the text appear as the body of the post and not as the first comment.

    From the FAQ: > How do I make a link in a text submission? >You can't. This is to prevent people from submitting a link with their comments in a privileged position at the top of the page. If you want to submit a link with comments, just submit the link, then add a regular comment. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

      I'm just saying what I actually see in postings here. I don't make postings myself, so I have no special insight beyond what I see.
