Fake upvotes and accounts are a really bad idea here, not to mention comments that look like sockpuppetry. Please don't do any of this. Just let your work speak for itself.

Nothing fake, just sharing the link with our community networks and directing them to check it out here.

Hopefully our work does speak for itself.

Your "community networks" must be remarkably cohesive to think of such similar account names as these:

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lkjfdlkj

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=kjlasdlkjaskldj

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jkhkjshkjhf

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lkjdlfkjslkdjf

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dsklfjlksjflksj

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lkjlfkj

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=kjdlkjslk

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ljdhhskj

... and to register them all within an hour.

From our point of view, and that of our anti-gaming software, this is abusive. It's one of the surest ways to get accounts and sites banned on HN. Please don't.
