As per our policy of hiding political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam, [email protected] is now set to hidden as its content is mainly USA centric political news.
Those of you who want to continue to see posts from [email protected] are encouraged to subscribe to the community, which will make the it visible for your account.
The mods over [email protected] have already been notified of this move and understand our decision, please do not bother them by pinging them here.
A previous announcement post of other hidden communities can be seen here
Is there a single list of all hidden communities on the instance? I generally browse All and I now question what I may have been missing by not explicitly subscribing.
There are 282 communities marked as hidden in our database, I’ll have a talk with the team about publishing a complete list.
The current spread looks something like this:

The basic script I wrote couldn’t find them.
Couldn’t find 2 hidden communities? I guess it’s working then! 😂
