Is there a reason it is almost impossible to find one's own posts in the Community forums? I log in, and cannot find recent posts. Literally a post (a reply) I made today! I search my username. Nothing. I look at Subscriptions, but that is useless information. No links to click or follow. Why does Apple hide my own posts from me?
That’s correct; it can be surprisingly difficult to find your own posts around here.
The “subscription” mechanism mentioned in the replies above sorta-kinda works, but sorta-kinda doesn’t work when you subscribe to multiple communities or busier communities or to busier posters.
Since you haven’t subscribed to anything or anyone else—this based on replies above—your postings are the only ones shown in the subscription list. So that works, for this case.
If you do start subscribing to communities or other posters, then knowing some words from the posting of yours you’re seeking, search for those words with a filter of your nickname using the built-in search function in the upper right corner.
But… The fastest way is using either Google or DuckDuckGo search syntax:
site:discussions.apple.com +xhat1964
This search is (with DuckDuckGo) wicked fast, and quickly finds your existing topics. It does take a little time for new postings around here to get into the Google and DDG search indexes, of course.
