> If I do a “Show HN” post, will I get too many users at the same time?

In my experience, what's far more likely is that you won't get any users and you'll feel disheartened.

Just look in https://news.ycombinator.com/shownew to see how many "Show HN"s have no votes and no comments.

New users' posts to "Show HN" seem to be marked as possible spam sometimes and appear as [dead]. I guess we shouldn't be discouraged if it happens and just try again.
