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 any API to get a list of all hidden communities? I’m tempted to subscribe to all of them because I exclusively browse all and don’t want things filtered.
Edit: disregard, I see someone already asked
You could theoretically just loop through every community via “get_communities” and then
com_obj["community_view"]["community"]["hidden"] :: boolean*I’m writing this on memory, the json structure may be slightly differentand then just subscribe to every community that pops up.
It will likely be slow though, and it’s mostly NSFW + [email protected] that would pop up on c/all if you did. I also *think* lemmygrad as an instance is hidden, so those communities may pop up if they tend to reach c/all.
I’ll discuss with the team about making a public list of hidden communities.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I saw the previous post about the foomoe communities. I’m mostly just curious, I don’t see this as some sort of unjust censorship or something like that. I appreciate all the work y’all do for this instance. 💜💜
