Hello HN!

I was wondering if anyone has any advice for breaking into the Product Hunt community?

I've been an avid browser of the site for some time, and I'm a strong believer that this tool is an absolute necessity in this day and age, but now I'd like to get involved and start contributing!

Thanks, Connor Black @connorblack_

OP: To answer your question, make something worth posting (can be a simple side project) and tweet Ryan Hoover asking for an invite. AFAIK he got traction initially by tweeting at people who posted Show HNs, and even though PH is past that now I'm pretty sure he's still very active on Twitter and your chances of being accepted are quite high.
