I should move instances, I use All to read news, my subscribed feed is all more positive stuff so I don't doomscroll.

    I do the same. I'm not going to move instances over this, but it is an annoyance. Hopefully this hiding is temporary, or the issues I filed on Lemmy's GitHub will improve the situation. Otherwise I guess I'll subscribe and unsubscribe every day to check it? Lol

    I doubt it will be temporary, all news is going to be increasingly political for the foreseeable future.

    I knew the admins were eventually planning on doing this but I didn't realize it had already started and that it affected apps. Unfortunately it's fundamentally at odds with the way I want to use Lemmy.
