Diss in Norfolk does not show up in most magnifications. But local villages do! Very hard for people looking for routes to the Latitude Festival |

I suspect that it's being displayed differently because Diss is mapped as a way rather than a node, which most towns are mapped as. It's not just the standard layer either - try different layers at different zoom levels and you'll see towns mapped as ways seem less prominent. The wiki suggests mapping towns as closed ways isn't wrong, so it might be worth mentioning on Github (for those layers that have a presence there; the "standard" layer for example is here). Interestingly, an Overpass search for towns mapped as ways finds lots of towns mapped both as ways and as nodes (which is surely wrong, although looking at the Nominatim results for an example it seems to be smart enough to figure out what is happening). 2
Actually, there's already discussion about this on github here. The current concenus (there and on IRC) seems to be that mapping place=town as both node and way isn't actually wrong, so I'd suggest that you go ahead and add a place=town node for Diss.

place=town node added. |
Are you talking about that city of diss at England?
Yes 'iii' it is the Town (City) in England as your link identified. I'll follow up on the guidance from 'SomeoneElse' to invetigate the Way/Node difference and I see that Diss is not alone in its disappearance.
And you refer to the label of the city?
Yes the 'lable'. The town is visible but it has no lable.
