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.
No worries, I won’t be hiding anything. I’m of the opinion that stuff that breaks the rules is removed and any other content is up to individuals to block.
And I’m not US based, the current political scene there doesn’t affect me directly. You’re free to discuss abortions in Texas all you want on my instance!
Thanks for the ping @Blaze@feddit.org.
