I create this thread because I just read This how difficult I set up it on my home.
I still can't join on the network, I can't find my node here
It could mean that your node isn't configured to listen for inbound connections.

Check your peers list in "Window->Peers" menu.
If you can only see about 10 nodes there labeled "Outbound", it means that your node cannot listen to incoming connections.
But with all things considered, it's connected to the network since it can initiate connections to other nodes.

If you want to have inbound connections to further increase your connection count to about 125,
you should enable port forwarding in your router, check your firewall if it's blocking inbound connections of Bitcoin Core and enable "listen" config if you've disabled it.
For port forwarding; it's specific per router model so you should check tutorials specific to your router's model.
