I set my Island from “Unlisted” to “Listed” for the first time ever - it did not get boosted in the algorithm for its first day.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Publishing

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create an Island
  2. Create a release as “Unlisted”, play on it
  3. Wait a few days
  4. Set the release to “Listed”

Expected Result

Setting an Island from “Unlisted” to “Listed” for the first time receives the same benefits as directly publishing it for the first time.

Observed Result

My other two islands each got an algorithm boost on their first days to bring in anywhere from 20-40 concurrent players.

My Island (1106-5751-6368) received seemingly no boost in the algorithm.

For context, any traffic seen aside from a brief “New and Updated” was driven by me inviting friends and playing with them.
