If you join HN and immediately start posting links to your own site you'll almost certainly be flagged by users.

Thanks for the reply — I might have explained the situation poorly.

Out of my five submissions, two are Ask HN posts (including this one), and two are links to my own writing. All four of those behaved normally, so I assumed self-links were fine.

The third link — also to my own article — is the only one that disappeared.

If all self-links were filtered, I would understand. What confused me is that the first two stayed visible without any issues, but the third one vanished a few hours after posting.

So I’m just trying to understand why only one of them triggered the filter.

Just a quick update:

My submission is visible again now.

Thanks for taking the time to reply — appreciate it. Hope you have a good day.
