Programming.dev will hide political NSFW/pornographic and bot communities. Hidden communities can still be accessed, but don't show up on All unless you subscribe to them. (legal.programming.dev)

Kind of answers the suggestion I had a while ago ( https://lemmyverse.link/lemm.ee/post/52588852 ) to have instances that would hide political communities from the All feed to be more welcoming to new joiners.

If a generalist instance implemented a similar hide list, it could become the one recommendation for new joiners, at it would avoid overwhelming them with politics.

what we actually need is categoy trees we can subscribe or block, like block all sports, but allow soccer or subscribe to all memes, except shitposting. it's not good to curate it for all users.

btw when i used reddit many years ago, when signing up, they asked to pick from a tag cloud for the home feed. if we had categories, we could do something like that as well.

Lemmy devs are kinda of set in going their direction, thats been added to piefed and mbin, I doubt lemmy will add that just like lemmy will never add following because the ppl developing it dont want it here
