If you want others to try your new distro you should provide at least some description of its intended audience and use, its reason for being, its heritage if a derivative of another distro, etc.
There is also nothing in the way of description on the Sourceforge repo, and the README is nothing but a link to another site. There are no source files browsable, the only download is a binary image and the netboot button at top.
The only available downloads are binary images, and although the OP has added a brief description page here on LQ, there is no package list other than being described as the latest LFS with a few added packages. There is no source tree and and still very little useful information other than how to boot it various ways.
While I do not want to discourage anyone willing to create their own distro, I would caution users to exercise all normal care when installing or running any unknown binary on your system - in this case, we really do not know what it contains!

All things considered, I would strongly advise against others downloading or following the links - it has all the identifying marks of malware at the moment.
Many times new posts are held for moderation. Likely your post will show up soon. There are different moderators for the various forums, one of the ones for the distributions forum will have to evaluate your post.
You may wish to consider the additional thoughts offered by astrogeek where you can post additional info and documents in the repository so as to not give others pause when they encounter your offered binaries.

Thanks for your advice. But for now I just use sourceforge as a download mirror.
Hi & welcome. Is there a .iso? I use VirtualBox, on old WinXP host. Or better, a .vdi?
Yes, 'caution' is the #1 rule on the 'wild internet' (so don't be offended).
I look forward to trying it (100% safely [I believe], in VBox).
p.s. I enjoy NuTyX, LFS-based (GUI optional); you can submit it to DW!
