Thank you for hiding that, I was sick of it.
I don't believe it's hidden for you, as the OP is from a different instance.
So I’m confused by the whole community hiding thing. Since I’m local to programming.dev, the owner of programming.dev can hide communities from other instances for me? I get that these communities aren’t moderated well, but it seems like the instance owner that those communities are in should be the one on top of that or risk defederation. I don’t really love that my local instance can just hide things from other instances.
hidden just means it won't show up in the All feed, but you can still subscribe to see all the posts from them
so this is much softer than defederation, and it's per community instead of an entire instance
