You can select for your devlog these two things
General Update or Announcement
Share bug fixes, updates, or announcements related to the project.
Major Update or Launch
Highlight significant changes or a newly available project.
Working regularly on a game and pushing out updates are just that. Regular updates. Not significant or major changes. The spamming the content to the top phrase means constantly claiming, that every update is a major update. At least I understand it that way.
First of all, thank you for the clarification.
I used the titles exactly according to their intended purpose. For previous update announcements, I chose General Update, just as it’s described.
This time, however, we’ve added a mechanical and story-related update to the game. This update changes the way players experience the game, offering them a different experience from the previous version, which is why I used Major Update. From what I understand, it’s either waiting for manual approval or just taking a bit longer for some reason.
For obvious reasons they do not let every major update be bump on the recent list. It is said to be manual staff approval, plus some prefiltering like that 30 day cooldown probably.
Which means anything that affects how much staff can do will affect the number of approved major update devlogs. Of course they could also just not have agreed.
I also speculate that having a lot of traffic and followers increases chances.
