PSA: Server admins, you can hide communities from the All feed using /api/v3/community/hide

You can do this with /api/v3/community/hide, or in the database by setting community.hidden. Unfortunately this is not available from lemmy-ui yet.

Not sure if that feature was known to everyone, so sharing this as its own post.

While I see the usefulness of this, I kinda hate the idea of having to rely upon social contacts to discover communities that would be of interest to me - I'm not terribly social, and I don't keep a collection of online friends. I come out of my hole, look around, get my fix of whatever I need at that moment, then hide away again. Yeah, it's pathetic, but that's my life. Please don't make my world any smaller.
- Are you aware of !newcommunities@lemmy.world ?

Will it hide them from other instances All feed? Because that's where usually the main problem posters come from.
- No this only affects your local instance. So it doesnt affect how your communities are shown on other instances, but it lets you hide remote (or local) communities from All.
