As a follow up to our previous announcement post, we have now set up a page to display every community that is hidden for our local users.
As explained on that page:
Programming.dev will hide political communities, NSFW/pornographic communities and communities that have a majority of their content produced by bots. While a community is hidden, it and its posts and comments will not show up in post feeds or in the search results unless you have explicitly subscribed to it. Communities themselves currently do not show up in community search results, this may change in the future; see #2943.
Users can subscribe to a hidden community to remove the hidden effect status of a community, however it can be difficult for a user to find out which communities are due to them not being searchable.
I don’t believe the system is that granular. If you’re posting in a community that is now hidden I would recommend you to subscribe to it if you want to continue to see it.
Subscription is not the problem. My problem is, if I post on some of these hidden communities, I cannot see that post on my profile if I visit my profile page inside this instance but I can see those posts if I visit my profile page from another instance.
So I want to be able to see my posts with the hidden ones when I visit my profile. It’s completely fine if someone from this instance cannot see them.
If you can’t see posts you make on hidden communities that you are subscribed to on your profile, that sounds like a possible bug, and I’d encourage you to report the issue to the Lemmy repo
Thanks for the reply. I’ll notify them about this.
