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

🤔 there must be a way to make users aware that subscribing is necessary. Indeed, after subbing I can now see posts, but as a user, I'm unaware which communities requiring subbing to have content shown and which ones just aren't working. Having to sub to a community in order to find out is an insider trick.

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

I see. Thanks for the information. A few communities have been subscribed to now.

Cheers!
