Can anyone please tell me what the requirements are for posting on MetaFilter?

I mean, it looks random but I am not sure.

Here are the guidelines, and here is the Wiki, which answers many questions including what is a good post.

Here is the crunchland method, which is worth reading even if you don't 100% agree with it.

If you're wondering why you can't make a front page post on Metafilter, I'd guess it's because you haven't posted any comments there. I'm not sure what the exact threshold is, though.

you have to be a member for a week (mentioned on the new user page) and post at least three comments.
