Programming.dev will hide political NSFW/pornographic and bot communities. Hidden communities can still be accessed, but don't show up on All unless you subscribe to them. (legal.programming.dev)

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.

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.
