I've seen articles being posted where the author forgets to add the link to the original post (and it has happened to me in the past as well). I think it's a bit tricky to get it right the first time, maybe the interface could have a specific input for an article source, if one is provided?
Here's an example:
I think the main problem is that the intuitive way of adding a link is to just post the url, instead of using the markdown syntax [pedroassuncao.com](https://pedroassuncao.com/posts/531), and lots of people do the former, ending in an article without a link.
Maybe a warning could be sent when publishing if you post something that is less than X characters in length and does not contain a link, or something like that? Or some explicit explanation of how to add a link? Or a button to add a link that takes care of all of that?
