Yea, this can be confusing. Posts can be divided into 3 categories—personal blogposts, frontpage and community. All posts start as personal blogposts, and then can be moved to frontpage by moderators.
As you can now see, your post has been moved to frontpage (which broadly means that it “is relevant to doing good effectively and doesn’t require background knowledge of the EA community”).
By default, your posts will be published to your personal blog on your profile page. Other users can follow your page to see notifications when you post.
Frontpage and Community posts
If you’re writing about ideas relevant to doing the most good, and which might be useful even to people who aren’t closely involved with the EA community, your post will be moved to the “Frontpage” section and be visible on the front page of the forum.
If you’re writing about the EA community itself, giving an organizational update, or discussing strategies for community building, your post will be moved to the “Community” section, which can be accessed from the forum’s sidebar menu.
Why is this a personal blogpost? What does that mean? I thought I was posting to the EA forum?
