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

    I should move instances, I use All to read news, my subscribed feed is all more positive stuff so I don’t doomscroll.

    Thanks! Oft lately my filters for keywords (trump, musk) where not enough… Let’s see if this helps.

    Specially since there’s a reddification of content/ users.

    Does this affect apps/alternate front ends too?

    the title of this post sounds more serious than it actually is, maybe the title should be modified?

    maybe just add “unless you subscribe”?

        Right but it’s not a well-known feature of Lemmy, so people won’t know that

          I’ve updated the title. Ideally people will read the content of announcements though.

    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.
