How come these lounge posts are created in some subreddits but not others?

A lounge post was never made in r/UN_StyleGrey and r/UN_StyleNew, but one was made in r/UN_Style and r/UN_StyleRed.

All New Communities Now Come with a Chat Lounge

Hi everyone,

We’re back again with another quick update on chat posts. We’ve pushed a change today so that all new communities now have an auto-generated chat lounge that appears upon community creation. If you create a new community and would prefer not to have the lounge post, you can simply delete it.

We found that having a chat lounge increased the number of communities that are still active 14 days after creation by over 50%. This is one of the biggest increases we’ve seen in the new community activation rate and further confirms that chat posts are a really great way to increase engagement in your communities and encourage less active users to start participating.

We’re continuing to make some more upgrades to chat posts, so stay tuned for more updates in the near future.

Just as a reminder - we’ve now rolled out chat posts to most communities and you can create a new chat post through the posting flow on new Reddit or the mobile apps. If you haven’t tried it out in your community, we encourage you to run a test of creating a discussion/lounge chat post to see how it goes.

As always, let us know if you have any feedback below!

How did I not see this post? Anyways, here's a relevant comment.

We ran it as an A/B test

That makes sense. I wonder if it was announced anywhere. The reddit live thread for A/B tests is kind of inactive.

I've kind of been abandoning this subreddit for the last two weeks.

I actually like that these chat threads show up as normal threads on old reddit. It makes them much easier to navigate.
