My site that I migrated from Yahoo is showing this banner:  
 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/optimized/3X/7/0/707a4e76bd589ee6d00511078736b1e8432e3844_2_690x53.png)  
It says “we recommend at least 30 posts.” But there are a lot more than 30:

I know users don’t see the banner, but it still seems strange that it’s there. Why is that?

It simply means that those posts are made in restricted categories so You’ll need to make some public posts.

Ah, that makes sense. It’s a little unintuitive, but it would explain what I’m seeing. Thanks.

If your site is primarily private, you can also disable the banner. See the `show create topics notice`. You clearly have plenty of topics/posts for users to participate.
