@cosmic-boi, is it in your power to enable the full article?
Everyone else, do we need a “paywall” tag? I’d rather avoid following links to them.
When this happens I flag it as “broken-link”. I cannot access the content so I think that is the correct flag.
This happens when the article author chooses to paywall it in Medium because it gives them a payout. They are basically using Lobsters as a free traffic source.

Does lobste.rs even allow posting links that require accounts?

That worked for me, at least this once, thank you. In future please consider an unencumbered link for submissions.
For sure. I’m working on building out my own blog (in Rails!) that won’t have a paywall :)
I’ve removed the paywall completely :)
