From my own experience, I can confirm that new users currently can’t just post (or at least I couldn’t). So I’d appreciate it if there were some way to prove you’re not a bot and that you have at least a genuine question or perhaps an interesting post.

Is it fixed? The HN server has a few anti-spam secret features that dang/tomhow never published (and I guess they are added, removed and tweaked from time to time). Sometimes they have false positives. If you still have problems, you can send an email to the address in the "contact" link at the bottom.
Thanks for your tip. It worked out in the end; I guess it just took a little patience with HN. I can see why.
New users cannot post in Show HN, at least when I tried to post.
