I remember hearing somewhere that **only active ones are featured**. However, I was wondering when I looked at Discover, as I noticed that some forums featured there were less active than mine. What are the criteria? I’d appreciate it if you could let me know.

I’m not sure there is any explicit criteria. As long as `appear in discourse discover` is turned on and you have enough posts it should appear (at staff discretion) regardless of your user count

I remember this topic, which mentions some criteria, but it does not look like this is the problem now.

Sites must be public - content must be visible to the public Site must be active, we don’t want to feature ghost towns it helps nobody Age of site does not matter that much - as long as it was around for say a month so we can assess Inclusion should be “within a few business days”
