You can see a lot more if you toggle the “showdead” flag in your profile. A lot of posts go into the “dead” state right away, usually because somebody keeps posting nothing but links to the same blog. I see he had one “dead” back in 2017. My advice is he should:

1. Look at articles on the front page, pick out a site which frequently gets articles there

2. Look at 10 or so articles from those sites and pick the one you like the best.

3. Post and see what happened.
