I have a dozen or more topics created but Discourse is always telling me:
> Let’s [start the discussion!](https://blog.discourse.org/2014/08/building-a-discourse-community/) There are **0** posts. Visitors need more to read and reply to – we recommend at least **5** posts. Only staff can see this message.

Let me guess, all topics in private categories?
That notice is only visible to staff – you can disable it via a site setting: `show create topics notice`

I don’t think they’re private. I can view them without auth on a few different browsers.

Thanks for the tip on disabling! I’m wondering though if I’m missing something here.

Ah, the notice is gone now. It read this thread and realized it was time to stop. Smart!
