Is it a faux pas to submit your own blog to HN? Almost surely.

Is it a faux pas to submit your own blog to HN? Almost surely.
- almosthere 8mo agoKinda but not illegal.
- Jtsummers 8mo agoOnly if it's your primary use of HN, see the guidelines and FAQ linked at the bottom of almost every page here. If you just use HN for self-promotion, that's discouraged and you have a good chance of getting shadowbanned. If you participate in the community and also self-promote, that's fine. > Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.
- ericyd 8mo agoI should have looked, this makes total sense that there would be a published policy on this. Thanks for clarifying.
