Two of the stories you submitted are from web domains that appear to be heavily scrutinized. Both hashnode and towarddatascience seem to be auto-killed by default.
Looking at the history of hashnode posts it is pretty obvious why. The first page when I click “past” only goes back four days and many of the submissions are “escorts in Lahore” type posts.
Why Towarddatascience is autokilled was not obvious but I suspect there might have been a run of low quality or spam or both.
My advice is to find better stories to submit. HN is an unusual place and getting the hang of it usually takes a while…good luck.
—— addendum
you say from other accounts
Having multiple accounts can create hard to resist opportunities to behave contrary to the spirit of HN.
You probably won’t be clever enough to game the system because the software and staff reflect a lot of experience.
Thank you for the insight and advice. I initially created multiple accounts to confirm if my posts were visible to others, but I understand now how that can be problematic. I appreciate the reminder and will be more mindful going forward. Thanks again for your help!
