Why do my discussions get lost?

Question

I start a discussion here, but then I can't find it anywhere in the list, only in my profile under "Activity". Why is that?

(how else should I start getting to know you?:))

Posts in the Product Hunt community goes through manual filtering, once someone looks over it all posts are released in bulk.

That's the reason why your posts don't automatically appear. Sometimes it can be published within 30 minutes, other times it can take up to 9 hours and then your post is all the way down and gets fewer views.

@nicolaas_spijker This is strange, 24 hours have already passed, but this discussion of mine has not been published https://www.producthunt.com/disc... What do you think I did wrong there?

@anton_megaport @nicolaas_spijker Thanks guys! But I have another question, my discussion still doesn't appear in the list for many days, is there some other reason?

@anton_megaport Sometimes they don't feature posts.

They manually select them and sometimes posts are filtered. Not much you can do besides trying to post again in a few days.

I’m getting a 404 error every time I copy and paste my discussion links into browsers. I can only access them if I’m logged into my account.
