> Is there any policy when sending a free link to other sites (Hacker News etc.) is ok?

There is some information in the FAQ: https://lwn.net/op/FAQ.lwn#slinks

It says:

Where is it appropriate to post a subscriber link?

Almost anywhere. Private mail, messages to project mailing lists, and blog entries are all appropriate. As long as people do not use subscriber links as a way to defeat our attempts to gain subscribers, we are happy to see them shared.

I don't think we have seen really any abuse of the subscriber links over the years. We should probably be a bit more explicit in the FAQ about things like G+, Hacker News, etc. -- links have been posted to those places without any noticeable problems, at least so far ...
