There has been concerns about lemmit.online communities being too spammy in the ALL timeline.

I do not believe that the All timeline needs to be curated at an admin level, but I can see how the huge amount of automated posts can be overwhelming. I have hidden all lemmit.online communities except /c/[email protected] and /c/[email protected] which are non-bot operated.

I’m testing out a new feature I learned about by toggling the hidden status of a community directly in the database. If anyone’s interested this is the query I used:

UPDATE community SET hidden = 't' WHERE actor_id LIKE 'https://lemmit.online%';

A hidden community will appear only appear for Yiffit users that follow it explicitly. You can visit its page such as ‘https://yiffit.net/c/[email protected]’ and then click on the subscribe button to be able to get a specific lemmit community in your feed.

Hope you find this useful <3

PS: the query will have to be re-run whenever a new lemmit community is discovered by this instance, but I’ll figure out a way to automate it.

    Maybe some trigger on database when new community is created?
