How to make my community hidden? (lemm.ee)

submitted 4 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

As far as I can see Lemmy supports hidden communities. But my community on lemme.ee only supports visibility public or local.

I would like to set it to hidden, to avoid its posts appearing in the feeds of users who aren't subscribed.

The reason is to avoid bothering users with my community posts which they probably don't want to see. A post already got a downvote from a user not in my community, probably because they didn't want to see such things in their feed.

Is it possible to make a community hidden from unsubscribed users' feeds on lemme.ee?

only admins can set communities to hidden currently. this is also not exposed via lemmy-ui, it has to be done via API.

I don't think that's the case. Here at feddit.nl (version 0.19.10, latest) I can set the visibility of a community only to "Public" and "Local Only", too. There seems to be an option for instance admins to hide certain communities from all, though.

You should be able to use https://tesseract.dubvee.org/ to see votes on your community, and potentially ban people who systematically downvote your content

I say should, because I just tried, and it seems like the feature isn't there anymore. Hello @[email protected] , has the ability to see votes for mods been disabled recently?

This is really quite unfortunate. I would say it's a bit rude to downvote posts from communities you're not a member of. Really shouldn't users be blocking the community from appearing in their feed?

I may take this up with the Lemmy developers. I think only being able to vote on posts in communities you're subscribed to would be an improvement. Wouldn't it?

Yes, the setting to enable votes in a community only for subscribers will be shipped with version 1.0 sometimes this fall probably

Oh, that's perfect. Thanks for letting me know! Will grit my teeth until then! 😬
