Disclaimer: I'm not sure if a community request should be made here or not.

https://old.reddit.com/r/programmingcirclejerk is the only reason I visit reddit. I don't have an account over there but it's fun to see programmers making fun of other programmers but also not taking themselves too seriously

Please.

This was blocked by lack of some features in Lemmy.

I lost track of what got implemented over time and what didn't.

Some/All of these features would be needed:

  • Option for a community posts to not appear in local/global feeds.
  • Option for a community posts to not appear as cross-posts.
  • Option for a community to not appear in instance sidebar recommendations.
  • (possible overkill) option to not appear in community search (by name, without !).

First two are the most relevant. I think the first at least got implemented client-side (not sure).

I don't understand why any of these would be necessary.

Because besides the jerking style, PCJ is a "no backlinking" community.

reddit doesn't have features to enable this either

It has some. Related Lemmy Issue. I actually remembered wrong. Should have wrote "NOT implemented client-side".

I'm too busy to double-check, but it is possible that Lemmy is ready for this now.

Didn't know or consider any of that. It might explain why c/circlejerk was DOA. The main thing I miss about reddit is r/circlejerk, but Lemmy has no appetite for the idea of "make fun of Lemmy" from my few mild posts there.
