Ah I see. But other event kinds would still appear on main by default, like if there was a community for kind 1063 photos. I guess the question is how big of a deal this will become in the future as communities develop and specialize in non-text-note events, i.e. if having a general way of preventing an event from showing up on main is worth the additional complexity.

I really think there is no need to exclude the community post in the main feed. in some sense, community is just like hashtag, you will never feel strange that people post something with hashtag appear on the main feed. community is just another way to do content filtering and classification.

Yup. It’s a design feature.

This was actually my initial take as well. But thinking about it a bit more, I don’t think it’s just filtering/classification. We already have hashtags and lists for that. Communities have different norms, formats, inside jokes etc. which make people reluctant to post if they know it’s going to main

thx for discussion. I get your point. and here is how I think about this: if people are reluctant to post on main feed, they should post to private communities(if there need such one). use another kind and hiding them on main feed doesn't solve their problem since people always have ways to find out what you post on the communities. instead, keeping public community post on main feed is actually a good reminder to people that this thing is not privacy.
