what's going on here? I don't remember hiding any community and I'm def not finding any option to un-hide it

I'm using t.programming.dev, if it's important

https://programming.dev/c/britishtelly@feddit.uk is currently visible and not hidden.

However, as it seems to be a bot community, it should be hidden on our instance, so we will hide it and update https://legal.programming.dev/docs/hidden-communities to reflect that.

    no, British Telly is showing fine, !die_reklame@feddit.org is hidden. I haven't selected "hide bot stuff" anywhere in settings.

    c/die_reklame has been set to hidden by an admin due to being a community primarily driven by a bot, but it seems like it wasn't added to the public hidden communities list. That's our mistake, we will update the list to show it as hidden.

    Hiding communities isn't something done by moderators, it's something we do at an admin level according to our instance's policy.

    So it is an admin-hidden community then? If so, that confirms the bug. Should be fixed in the upcoming v1.5. I doubt I'll release a hotfix for this since 1.5 is close to release and improves on 1.4.41 in just about every single way.

    Clicking the "eye" button should reveal it to the user, though, like any other item they've filtered.

    I haven't hidden the community yet and the post is visible both on the standard frontend and the tesseract frontend. Not quite sure what's going on in OP's picture, checking the database, all the recent posts seem normal.

    Are we sure it's the British Telly community? Unless OP manually revealed that post, then the two hidden ones above may be something else.

    Regardless, they can click to reveal it as a workaround, and I still think it's just improperly handling communities marked as hidden since this is the code that seems to be triggered:

    https://codeberg.org/tesseract-ui/Tesseract/src/commit/38f215e3ea164efce24cf3bf2d7f4f9ecde99633/src/lib/components/lemmy/post/Post.svelte#L352

    // Community Hidden
if (post.community.hidden) {
    hidePostReason = 'Community is hidden'
    return true
}

    That's fixed / no longer applicable in (upcoming) 1.5 since I re-wrote the whole filtering subsystem and no longer flag those to be filtered/hidden.
