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.

So this is the reason why I cannot see my posts to these communities on my profile. I understand and respect hiding communities but can it at least be possible to see our own posts when we visit our profiles? A different Lemmy website can see my posts but I cannot.

Any idea why [email protected] is blocked and listed under political?

It was put under the wrong category looks like

I originally hid it due to it being primarily bot content (but seems like the community changed at some point to not be bot spam)

Heres an example of what the community used to look like

Because it's ml I guess. [email protected] is probably the non ml alternative

Hidden communities can still be accessed, but don't show up on All unless you subscribe to them.

Well, you can't see posts even if you browse into the community directly. You have to subscribe to the community or else you can't see the posts in it, even if you get a direct link to a post it won't show any comments, and the community won't show up in search results even if you search for the community ID/URL directly.

The character limit is quite strict in titles, thank you for completing
