Ask HN: Why my post isn't visible?

3 pointsn0vella5 comments

Hi, I submitted my first Show HN post, but I think it isn't visible to others (cannot find in incognitmo mode). Also an * appears next to it. Is it hidden? What should I do? I read FAQ and I think post is ok with rules.

If it gives you any consolation, I can see this post.

Somehow now I can see both posts (the Show HN and this) in incognito. Even the show HN has an upvote. Sorry, I'm new to hacker news. Another question, do you know what does the (1) next to my username on top orange bar means?

I believe it's a tally of the amount of up-votes you've received from others.

Oh, that makes sense, thank you!

Because you're a spammer. You have a new account with no activity on it except for your self promotion spam. Read the rules.
