I wonder if there is or will be a functionally providing the possibility to "hide" communities for a user? For instance I am not a soccer fan. So hiding communities with particular soccer teams as topic would be great. Later maybe I am interested so "unhiding" would be the other way around.

I don't know the code nor am I a Rust developer. But in my happy little programmer world this doesn't sound too complicated.

What do you think?

P.s. I didn't get a response to my last RFC and am a little concerned that stuff like this is not the point of this community. So please correct me if I'm wrong here :)

Edit: foo explained me that using block feature is the current state of art. Maybe there comes something "softer" than a block but for me this workaround works

In this scenario, what is the difference between your proposal and the existing ability to Block a community?

[–] CriticalSilence@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Blocking is fine so far but afterwards I cannot unblock them. In addition "block" sounds more like bad behavior or something. I just don't want to see their content but dont have a problem with them. What happens, when I get linked or mentioned in one of its content? Since I blocked them, this notification or the content where I was mentioned would never reach me
