... since this will prevent LFG from showing that the Commander's map is full.

Moving yourself (Commander) to a separate subgroup was once used to help others to find the player whose map they should join. But this is no longer needed, since

Commanders and lieutenants are now sorted first in their subsquads following the patch on November 8, 2022.

But since LFG apparently uses Subgroup1 to determine whether a Squad's map is full, keeping this habit does more harm than good.

Yep, I agree, LFG is a mess.

Of course I don't know for a fact that LFG actually checks subgroup 1 to figure out whether a squad's map is full, but it seemed pretty plausible.

Also, I didn't say that map full detection is in any way related to the squad size limit. The question is how does LFG determine whether a squad's map is full? Does it actually check the map of the squad's commander (squad might not have one) or does it check the map of the first player in subgroup 1 (which is what I think).
