Congrats! There's at least one entire forum devoted to trying to figure out how Explore works. Big Huge Labs shows you've had 29 photos in Explore since 2012. https://bighugelabs.com/scout.phpI've never understood the way Flickr works. I don't actually visit there that often, but I do use its generous storage for backup.
So now and then I make something public to show the few friends I have left on there I'm still alive, this being one of them.
I look today and it has nearly 2000 views and 59 faves and I didn't even tag it or put it in any groups and its also in 'explore'.
Very weird !
