Why is my post not in the feed?

Check these, in order: 1. Is it published? Drafts and private posts are visible only to you. 2. Is your account private? Posts from private accounts are visible to approved followers, not in the public feeds. 3. For you is a ranking, not a timeline — your post is there, but not necessarily on top. Check the Discovery tab (newest first); every public post appears there the moment it is published. 4. If the post was hidden by moderation you will have a notification about it. If none of these explain it, contact support with the post's link.
