    You would more or less freeze the subscriber count at 48 it the community got hidden. New people wouldn’t see any content if they got a direct link to the community or to a post, unless they subscribed. And searching for the community also wouldn’t work.

        That’s not possible in lemmy currently. It’s either full hiding (so hiding from local/all, searches and the community unless they subscribe) or not hiding

        Theoretically could be added in a pr though

          That’s not what I understood from [email protected] comment here.

          I thought this is possible now, although it may require setting this in the database directly.

            You can set a community to local, which would close off the community to everyone other than programming.dev users, or you can set a community to hidden, which will hide the community for everyone. For hidden communities you need a direct link to discover the community, and you then need to subscribe to it to see any content, otherwise the community will empty. Like this:

              We are taking about a feature that was (supposedly) implemented, but not exposed in the UI yet.
