You can do this with /api/v3/community/hide, or in the database by setting community.hidden. Unfortunately this is not available from lemmy-ui yet.

Not sure if that feature was known to everyone, so sharing this as its own post.

Will it hide them from other instances All feed? Because that's where usually the main problem posters come from.

No this only affects your local instance. So it doesnt affect how your communities are shown on other instances, but it lets you hide remote (or local) communities from All.

Not sure, I feel like the use case here is more to hide remote communities from your local users, not the other way around

@nutomic@lemmy.ml ?

Can't you just make the community Local only ?
