Was reading about the why is programming.dev federated with us post on DMT and was reading some of the comments like this one which specifically mentions my latest meme. Now, Idgaf what the one guy thinks, but I don’t really want to be the (or a predominant) cause of us getting defedded even more either.

So I was wondering: a) is it possible and b) if it makes sense that we would want to hide those kinds of subs from the main page. If this was already discussed somewhere else, then sorry for rehashing but I couldn’t find it.

I think hiding things from default feed might be possible based on this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2072

Anyway I don’t know jack shit about the lemmy codebase, settings, etc so no clue if I am even reading this right.

Note: I am not suggesting any particular course of action, only asking what people here think and if it might be worthwhile as sort of an olive branch to other instances while we still have our fun in the various subs. Assuming it even possible. I’m fine with whatever, just thought I’d ask.

    EH may be a little saucy here and there… but it is NO where near what all the fear mongering is about. This is not stormfront or some other hate site by any stretch other than the by the delusional mind, but those people can’t handle a single blurb outside their safe space echo chamber. I’ll happily come to their instance and stir shit up.

      Absolutely 100% agree with everything you said here.

      I only asking about front page visibility. Definitely not suggesting to stop or change how we operate. And even if the answer is “no, fuck those crybabies” then I’m cool with that, just figured I’d at least ask.

      Probably that wouldn’t help us any in the eyes of neutral parties.
