Yeah, no problem. Funnily enough Nottingham Forest already had the alias nottingham stored.
Here's every club alias for the bot:
If you can't see posts you make on hidden communities that you are subscribed to on your profile, that sounds like a possible bug, and I'd encourage you to report the issue to the Lemmy repo
I don't believe the system is that granular. If you're posting in a community that is now hidden I would recommend you to subscribe to it if you want to continue to see it.
Does this instance have a concrete guideline or precedent for that or would be able to decide at the discretion of an admin?
Communities with no connection to programming culture are removed as a general rule. Other than that, it's decided on a case by case basis. It's not that uncommon for us to remove new communities that are created. We've removed the community + one another
I've replied to dessalines
It's perhaps poorly phrased, no it will only affect that specific user.
You could theoretically just loop through every community via "get_communities" and then
com_obj["community_view"]["community"]["hidden"] :: boolean
*I'm writing this on memory, the json structure may be slightly different
and then just subscribe to every community that pops up.
It will likely be slow though, and it's mostly NSFW + !news@lemmy.world that would pop up on c/all if you did. I also *think* lemmygrad as an instance is hidden, so those communities may pop up if they tend to reach c/all.
I'll discuss with the team about making a public list of hidden communities.
I could see one if the ids in the table, but querying the community id via the API doesn't work. Not sure
The discussion has gotten completely off-topic. I'll lock the the thread until the moderators (@anzo@programming.dev @dwraf_of_ignorance@programming.dev) starts responding to reports.
I've updated the title. Ideally people will read the content of announcements though.
Yeah, we ban the spam accounts on the first report we receive.
