I'm the last person to ask about 'how does hive works', i see it like a giant times crossword puzzle, and myself sort of do One line a day (i'm on day 14,895 now and am still as confused as
Now having considerably brain damage having spent time on hive I think i can explane 0.0000001% of it. which is, you can't find your own post because the search (I THINK!) works on the tags, so,... when you post (or whatever) if you add the tags (here 'illuminati') then the search might find it.
Also i note that the front ends (ecency/peakd) etc, seem to add links to other posts like yours with the same tags (or were they key words? anyway)
