I created the shavian community yesterday to allow users to practice writing with the Shavian alphabet. This means that content is written in English with a non-Latin alphabet.

Even though I haven’t told anyone about the community yet, there has been some traffic: I think my posts so far are being served in a feed somewhere. This is not desirable: a general user would not want to see post titles with unrecognisable characters in their feed.

Is there a way to hide a community from feeds? I found this post about hiding a community, but I don’t know if this is possible on lemmy.world.

    Thank you for the explanation. With those conditions, I think I’ll leave it as is for now. I noticed when looking at my feed after posting this that a few posts in other languages (presumably labelled “uncategorized”) are appearing in my feed, so at least posts from my community won’t be a complete exception.
    As the other commenter pointed out, I can also take a look at the “unlisted” option when Lemmy hits 1.0.

    Thanks again!
