No, it doesn't mean that, it's just posts that are likely to result in a generic discussion about Rye rather than the specific thing being posted are probably going to get moderated as qdupey. Hypothetical example: added some feature and posted the documentation link to it - good chance of qdupery. Blog post discussing something you implemented, a specific problem you encountered and solved (or didn't) in the process, maybe some design you are mulling - probably seen as less of a followup. Posting your stuff + some indication you're around to discuss it - typically also reduces followupness. You can also just email hn@ycombinator.com and ask the mods.
The whole thing is relatively woolly/porous, the goal is to avoid obvious repetition, not to lock you out of posting about your work on HN.
