Bug? My discussions lose the 'open' status after a few minutes.

I made a new Repo, to try to test out the Discussion features.
In that Repo's Discussion section, I made 4 vapid example posts as proofs of concept just to test out how they looked.

However, a few minutes later my posts were gone!
I worked out that after a few minutes, they were losing the 'is:open' status, and when you load the discussion page, it automatically filters for is:open.
I was able to regain open-status by commenting/replying, but it seems to disapear again after a few minutes.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

This is the repo: https://github.com/Salindurthas/No-Coding-Allowed/discussions

I tried looking at other posts about it, but they seemed to have the opposite problem of being unable to close discussions, wheras mine keep automatically closing.

This isn’t really a “bug”.
GitHub sometimes auto-closes new Discussions in brand new repos because of anti-spam cooldown / rate-limit.

That’s why they re-open for a moment when you reply, then close again.

Nothing is deleted, you just need to switch the filter to is:any to see them.
After the repo gets a bit more activity / trust, it stops happening.

If this helped you, follow me on GitHub; thanks 😄
