Oh i understand now. Well it is obvious people don't understand it works like that. From outside it seems that it is perfectly normal to share products and updates HN. It seems to happen all the time often with authors or employees in the comments.
So what is prohibited is to share the direct link?
Obviously submitting links to one's own work isn't prohibited. It's encouraged!
What's not allowed are asking friends or teammates to upvote and/or post booster comments in the thread. Those are forms of gaming the system which the community here is not ok with.
People should upvote or comment on things that they personally ran across and found intellectually interesting, not because they or a friend have something to promote.
I posted this on Twitter and of course kindly asked our followers to upvote it if they like the new version. This is something I see on Twitter every day and I really wasn’t aware that it is not allowed to do. https://twitter.com/getkirby/status/1085873516132605952?s=20
You can also do a search for getkirby on Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=Getkirby to see that we got quite a few very positive reactions to the launch there as well.
