Ask HN: When I Submit my project the comment option not show

A Hacker News user asks why the comment option is not appearing when they submit their project, seeking an explanation for the missing feature.

Background

Hacker News (HN) is a popular tech news aggregator and discussion site run by the startup accelerator Y Combinator. Users can submit links or "Ask HN" posts (text questions to the community). When a user submits a "Show HN" post (to share their own project), the site sometimes treats it differently from ordinary submissions — new accounts or posts with certain characteristics may have the comment thread automatically disabled, often to prevent spam or self-promotion. This user is frustrated because they submitted their project but cannot see or use the comment feature on their own post, which is unusual for normal submissions. Other users are likely to explain that HN's anti-abuse rules or account-age restrictions may be blocking the comment section.
