My submission didn't show up on HN Shownew, but also isn't dead

Question

I posted https://randomairport.onrender.com/ two days agoIt shows up in Shownew when I'm logged in, but not when logged out. So my assumption is no-one sees it.It's not [dead] either.My assumptions are that:(1) The OnRender URL is auto-blocked(2) I wrote something wrong in my content (which isn't visible now anymore so cannot check).Got screenshots as well but too afraid to upload a URL now :DTried hn@ycombinator.com as well but no reply yet.Thanks for helping out

onrender.com was banned because of past abuses by spammers. I've unbanned it so you can post your submission now.In the future, please follow the site guidelines and email hn@ycombinator.com with this kind of thing. I only found out about this because another user did that for you.

Just a few side questions about your post of airports:Did you cherry pick a small amount of airports with nice photos or you are just choosing a random airport from a list of all airports in the world? Are you using an API to get the photos and location for the map?

I think there might be an up vote minimum for posts to show up on Ask/Show, I have noticed quite a few submissions with few or no votes do not make it those pages.

I have observed the same. I suspect there is some undocumented shadow banning of select topics that aren&rsquo;t meant to be discussed here for whatever reason.
