Yes, I'm the mod here. Submissions are welcome and it's fine to post your own stuff, but please do take a look at the contribution guidelines when posting. I'd like to see substantial content here so posts that will genuinely interest most poeople - I like to keep it positive, but if posts are very minor point releases or too frequent on the same topic they may be downvoted.

It can be a tough crowd on reddit, I think they're just really suspicious of self-promotion. Personally my advice if you want Iris to be a success now you have made it is to focus entirely on building great things with it rather than promotion - it's far more persuasive to see things that someone has built with a framework, and it's also far better for libraries to be improved for real apps or it becomes entirely theoretical. See for example the usage of buffalo for the gophercon site. Best of luck with Iris though, and please do try to keep posts on that under this iris-go account and save them up for special occasions where you have a substantial release to show off. I'd expect to see no more than 1 link per week about Iris, and also try to find some other interesting Go stories to post if you have the time.
