If a community is shown with proper data its working and probably hidden (the one thats broken, nytimes, doesnt have correct data since its missing the stats and mod list)
But yeah lemmy has terrible UX for hidden communities atm

Yeah, I go through and hide things every once in awhile by looking though communities in the database with some queries
BBC is hidden since i just went though and hid them. Sub and youll see all the posts. Hackaday isnt fetching posts looks like (did anyone sub previously?)
The last one should be scientificamerican instead of scientificamerica and seems to be functioning but hidden so sub and youll see the posts
Federation seems to be working, just that one specific community broke for some reason
All these communities fall under the realm of things I hide from the main feeds though since its majority bot content so at some point youll have to subscribe to see the posts
You shouldnt need to platform there, you can just walk up to the dragon and it will continue
Should be posting these daily for awhile
There was one open a bit ago but its now closed. tldr the swap to Bun from node broke things on some operating systems
The bot works on an opt in system, mods have to approve it for communities otherwise id be violating the lemmy.world bot guidelines
I remember there was some equivalent action but dont know for sure what it was since I didnt use mobile
Oh huh I didnt even realize you could pan like that, guess one of those has to be removed and moved to something else unless its detected between hold and tap
scrolling the scroll wheel scrolls the map and clicking down on the wheel over a pixel color picks
The only thing that was removed after the canvas freeze was the map flag
On lemmy-ui if both posts are both "visible" in the feed they will be compacted into one post if they share the same link meaning there wont be a duplicate post (unless you paginate and theyre on different pages)
Some other frontends such as sync dont do this though but they really should
