Why is my post not appearing in the global tag reader?
-
I keep finding that whenever I tag my posts using global tags such as “humor”, the posts do not appear when I try to scroll through that global tag. I think that I’m tagging effectively. I’m using less than 15 tags, the tags are all suited to the content, and the content isn’t mature content that is inappropriate for publication. I was wondering, is there some way to fix this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Actually I just realised that some of my posts have more than 15 tags, which may be the reason. Sorry about not noticing that before I posted. I’d imagine that’s probably why it’s not working.

If you have assigned a combined total that exceeds 15 Categories/Tags to your posts, you need to edit and delete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ After removal of the excess categories and/or tags note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.
You are inadvertently spamdexing AKA tag spamming. And, you ought to be more concerned about your posts not appearing and being well ranked on Google and Bing SERPS (search results pages) than not appearing on the WordPress.com Topics pages because it’s search engines that send a significant flow of traffic to blogs and they can choose to bury your content where the sun don’t shine for tag spamming.
The rule of thumb is to assign the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the post content.
