Submit one of your posts

Submit a link to a public post you wrote. Your submission is public; a moderator decides whether it appears here. Your original post stays in your account.

What happens after I submit?

Post from your usual Bluesky or Phlogiston account first, then submit the link here. A moderator reviews it before it can appear in the collection. Sign in and visit My submissions to check its status.

The submission request is a public record in your account, even if the moderator declines it. A decline is a private decision for this site; it does not make your submission private or delete it from the network.

Approval includes the reviewed version of your post. Editing or deleting it can stop it appearing here. Removing it from this collection does not edit or delete your original.
