As per our policy of hiding political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam, !news@lemmy.world 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 !news@lemmy.world are encouraged to subscribe to the community, which will make the it visible for your account.

The mods over !news@lemmy.world have already been notified of this move and understand our decision, please do not bother them by pinging them here.

    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 different

    and then just subscribe to every community that pops up.

    It will likely be slow though, and it’s mostly NSFW + !news@lemmy.world 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. 💜💜
