Today I just see this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46618714

It's say share your websites and get bunch of upvotes and comment

and not flagged

my question is then it's ok for me to post something similar like "Share your startup link" like that?

Most similar post don't get any upvotes. From time to one get's lucyy. I prefer indovidual post that get better discussion.

I guess it's necessary to report of flag it when the submitter make a lot of them, in particular as fake questions to promote their own site. I don't think this is the case.

Anyway, you can ask dang/tomhow hn@ycombinator.com , they usualy reply the same day.

this isn't an egregious example, just an outlet for people to share stuff. so I'd say sure, go ahead.
