I created a game jam a few days ago, but It isn't showing up anywhere.

I ticked the published box when creating it, but when I look in the jam's hosted page, it isn't there.

It is in my personal jams dashboard, but it has no views at all and I can't find it outside of my jam's dashboard page.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot?

Yes, as explained in lots and lots of topics, jams don't automatically appear in the calendar. They must first be seen by staff, and approved. Not all of them are approved. Please wait.

Does this also stop it from showing up in my "hosted jams" page? I'm not concerned about the calender, I just don't know why I can't it there.

I don't know. It might, if your jam wasn't approved yet. Please wait.

how long does it take to approved it? i'm concerned about the one im hosting because its a longer game jam... from june 28th to november 5th :"u

I don't know, it depends. But even if it's not in the calendar, once you publish the jam page it should be live and fully functional. That doesn't look right. You should probably double-check your settings and contact support if all else fails.

How long does it take to get seen by an admin, my jam starts in 10 days https://itch.io/jam/hokocafe-game-jam

It depends, and please don't necro an old topic, make your own.

This topic is half a year old. The latest post is from over three months ago. I miss that kind of thing all the time, too. Next time, please just make your own topic.

It doesn't depend on me. And as explained in lots of topics, not all jams are approved for the calendar. I don't know all the criteria, but it's what this whole topic is about.
