Couple more tips: • Take the time to upvote other people’s content that you like. • Be active: write comments. • Don’t send direct links to people. Instead, ask them to browse around a bit before upvoting your post. • Don’t only upvote posts from a fixed set of domains. They got voting ring detection. Everyone in the group is penalized or banned if it is detected. In short: The HN spam detection is pretty sophisticated. Don’t behave like a bot; be a real member.
