In the Apple Community, how do I see all the discussion I started?
When I choose My Subscriptions it only shows me 3 threads, with the oldest being 3 weeks old. I've started at least 15 discussions in the Apple Community by posing a question since I joined in 2014.
So how do I see older discussions I started?

Find the thread/forum subscriptions through your personal Profile. Then filter for Authored.

Use an external search engine, with your username as keyword, and restrict search to this site:

That is correct. They system changed not too long ago. There is no longer a "solved" option, only up votes.
But I have to say, that's a fairly circuitous way to have to search for something I posted; even something I posted as recently as January of 2024.
Other Support Forums I use - for example the forum for Autodesk Fusion, which let's me find my posts going back to when I started using Fusion in 2020 - are much more user friendly in that way.
I believe it to be caused by the fact of millions of registered users here with a relatively small group of regulars. Such search functions are difficult to scale efficiently and cost effectively. It gets a bit easier when they set a few limits.
Thanks @Urquhart1244 for this answer. And thanks for providing the URL for my bookmark bar.

Apple products are the gold standard of user friendliness - their superb products that make my life easier on a daily basis. But I think this Support Community site could be more user friendly.

Thanks for the tip! You learn something new every day if you read and pay attention.
