Share the direct directory link from the publish page to drive usage

I’m experiencing the same “issue” with my app—it’s published, but not visible in the general directory. If I invite people to use the app and it shows some level of usage, is that a prerequisite for it to become visible? I haven’t seen this mechanism mentioned in the official documentation, but it seems quite important.
