You would more or less freeze the subscriber count at 48 it the community got hidden. New people wouldn’t see any content if they got a direct link to the community or to a post, unless they subscribed. And searching for the community also wouldn’t work.
That’s not possible in lemmy currently. It’s either full hiding (so hiding from local/all, searches and the community unless they subscribe) or not hiding
You should ask admins to hide the community.
Why?
See my comments from the community request thread.
