For what it’s worth, I also feel like people might shy away from referring works if every referral has to be a top-level post (rather than a reply, as Linch suggests). In particular, I personally am second guessing myself and will probably not end up referring anything, but would happily contribute things as comments (I might end up doing that anyway, if I feel like it’s relevant enough, and people can repost if they want to). However, this could just be a personal preference rather than a common or shared experience.
Given the upvotes on your comment, I assume that other people share your preference. I’ve created this thread for people to suggest content without creating a top-level post. Thanks for your help!
Interesting. Trying to include an entire story in a comment, rather than giving it its own post, seems pretty unwieldy to me as a reading experience. But we’ll keep an eye on how many submissions come in, and take action if they really seem to be overwhelming the front page.
So personally, I will prefer for entries to be replies to a top-level post, and maybe for winners to be reposted to top-level posts.
But I will hide it for myself for now.

Thank you so much!

Especially for referrals, since there may be very many.
