Sometimes you want to make a post for a community but don’t want to reach the ALL audience (niche or controversial communities). Here is a pseudo workaround to achieve this.

  • Make a post
  • Immediately delete the post
  • Wait 12-24 hours
  • Undelete the post

The post will appear in the community at the original creation time and not the undelete time. This avoids the bulk of people who browse all by new (since it will be buried 12 hours in the past). Subscribers will still see the post in their feed

    Good idea!

    I feel like 12 hours is probably overkill, even 1 hour will be overkill for smaller communities

    But IDK I’m not big on scrolling pages and pages of all/new

      I regularly make it back 4-6 hours. I never watch the subscription feed, but I block a lot for the all feed
