Honestly, the current “you need X posts before you can see links” thing feels kinda overkill.
Instead of helping, it just makes new users spam random replies just to unlock stuff, which clutters the forum. Most people just want to jump in, read, and maybe share something useful right away.
Lowering the requirement (or basing it on quality instead of just post count) would probably make things smoother and actually improve activity instead of forcing it.
