News not visible for users on hub site (modern Sharepoint)
EddaSofia I might be wrong but I want to make sure have you clicked Post news after you created the news.
Once you click Post News the status should say some thing like below
To ensure the first version of the page is published and visible to others when you go the page library(YoursiteURL/SitePages/Forms/ByAuthor.aspx) you should not see the red arrow icon which says page is yet to be published/checked out.
Hopefully this helps.
Thanks

Vikram_Samal thank you very much for replying. I have created the news by "Add" -> "News link", so the view is a bit different than in your pictures.
After adding the link, I have chosen "Post" in the right column:
Also, I double-ckecked and there were no red arrows next to the news posts in the view that you mentioned.
So, still help needed.

EddaSofia To show you the difference between News Post and News Link let me share some details and ignore the content which you are already aware. News Link automatically retrieves all the content, images, and descriptions associated with a URL when you add it to the web part. Using this feature, you can change the cover photo or edit content on your SharePoint site to make the link more appealing to your target audience. So it actually do not create a page for you if you see the image below I have created a new link highlighted in red and news post highlighted in green. So unless you want to re-post some existing content try creating News Post and publish them it should be visible.

Hopefully this helps.
Thanks

Vikram_Samal Thank you. We want it to be as quick as possible, which is why we would use News link instead of News post.
The strange thing is still that the news links that I have posted before are not visible to users that have received their reading/editing access after the news link was posted.
