I have https://lemmy.world/c/casual_perchance which was made so perchance.org users could chat about ai prompting since it wasnt allowed in the main perchance community. It eventually turned in to the place to host community events of perchance. As it's mostly ai related and not catchy memes, often passerby browsing /all downvote things, which causes most of the users, many of which dont use lemmy except to post in events or about perchance, to feel unneeded negativity. I read a recent post which encouraged me to ban the passerby downvoters to deal with it, but i recently read Admins can also make a community not show up in /all. Can you please do that to my community? thank you!

You can set it to private so that only lemmy.world users can see and post things there. But "hidding" it for anyone like a unlisted post on mastodon is currently not possible.

ok thanks. time for massive banhammering i guess. :)

Lemmy moderation tools are of course lacking, but as the lemmy devs once said they arent even touching anything moderation related for "the future".

FYI, Piefed allows admins to hide communities from All

I won't shit on you because I was hoping for something similar until I realized that it was the antithesis of the fediverse. Your community is essentially shotgunned out to everyone listening, anyone listening can see and interact with posts of your community. Remember it's not just Lemmy, or Lemmy WebUI, or a specific app, or even forum style apps - the fediverse means anyone on any app can see your community any way they choose.

The only way to prevent that is by disabling federation of your one community, locking your users to only lemmy.world users. For privacy either you want an instance-specific (private) community, or you should look at private forums without federation.

See my other comment, Piefed has this kind of settings
