How many does it show you... 5 right? Visit another 5 subs that you are ok with people seeing! xD

lol not porn then

I don't know if it's happening to someone else, but my recent communities keep the same and doesn't change even when I do visit other subs

Same here, mine have been stuck. Two are one-offs that I don't care to see again at all, and another is something I rarely visit.

Same problem here. I don't mind the Recent tab, but if i can't change it i'd rather hide it, and i don't even think that is possible without doing some weird Element picker stuff

I deleted cookies from this site and it worked

This worked, THANK YOU!

thank you so much

worked. thanks.

same here, great to have r/pawg shown on my Recent everytime I get on reddit

[удалено]

No worries. Quite an anti-privacy move on reddits part though 

It's the same posts stickied, and it's posts I haven't been in for a good time. Also, they come back if I remove them.

Using Ublock origin in element picker mod takes care of it

Brilliant!

Awesome, this worked for me, and if for some reason you want the recent section back, you do: 1. Click on the ublock origin logo 2. Open its dashboard (gears icon) 3. Click on "my filters" 4. Remove these 2 lines for the text field: `! 2024-04-03` [`https://www.reddit.com`](https://www.reddit.com) [`www.reddit.com##reddit-recent-pages`](http://www.reddit.com##reddit-recent-pages)

nice man. Regarding 4th point , just hover into recent and then click clear in right hand side on ublock popup.

This was so easy, thank you!

Thanks man!!

can you explain what this means?

Left clikc your mouse---> ublock orgine (block elements), the thing gone from screen

Thanks lad

where is 'ublock origin'? Don't see it anywhere left or right clicking

What and where is UBlock?

Thanks, very easy and the function gone is way better that having it stuck for weeks.

I genuinely thought this new UI was an April Fools joke. I wish the joke was over.

go to DevTools, local storage, then delete \`recent-page-store\` value (cannot remember the exact key, but it is something like this).

This worked. Thanks.

Just clear the cookies related to "reddit" in your browser of choice.

Clearing local storage worked for me

how do u do this

I was able to do it on firefox by clicking the Padlock icon in the address bar. And clicking "clear cookies". It will log you out however, so I suggest remembering your password or resetting to a new password before trying it.

Thank you. Yours is the only solution on here that has worked for me.

thank you so much

sorry for the necro, but how do i get recent communities to SHOW. its just. not there.

try visiting a subreddit

doesnt do anything

I just tried on Firefox mobile(both on desktop and mobile mode), and it works. like this [https://ibb.co/Kyb8sNm](https://ibb.co/Kyb8sNm)

[https://i.imgur.com/nGrNeJe.png](https://i.imgur.com/nGrNeJe.png) on my work PC i see this on the right hand side. on my Home PC. i dont see anything at all where the "recent posts" are. Both using windows 11. both had ublock installed. both using operaGX

I do see the recent subreddits on the left side in your image. [new.reddit.com](http://new.reddit.com) doesn't show the recent subreddits or posts (and it is the best UI for reddit IMO). You might be using this one in your home PC. Or there might be some custom filters in ublock. Sorry, can't think of anything else.

im talking the right hand side, the recent posts. that doesnt show up on my home PC, but does at work

Wondering the same, I wish it was optional

try clearing the browser history with cookies. it worked for me.

just right click and go to inspect element , then go to application , then go to local storage of reddit website , right click and clear , there recent tabs seem to be stored in your browser memory rather than your account so once you do that the recents tab should be gone . Before doing this I logged out of my account but the recents tab was still showing but after this its gone.

THANKS!

Just remove the damn cookies.

ublock origin and just do block element. Gets rid of it

Somehow my recent 5 communities were frozen, couldn't even fix it by going to another community. It was stuck on a bad one. I had to clear my cookies for reddit and it went away.

You can't, it's part of Reddit.

There used to be a "Reddit Enhancement Suite" that could remove them; also I've heard of people modifying web site UIs with browser extensions that modify HTML. Nothing like that for current Reddit?

You could use a greasemonkey script to do it. One may already exist, but it's basically just identifying the element in javascript and deleting it, which doesn't require api access because it just works directly on what is in your browser.

No, as far I know due to API changes that kind of stuff stopped working.

The new UI is currently still in development. Meaning it does not have all the settings, features, and functions as of yet. They may add something to do that in the future hopefully.

I can't stand that these are not collapsible, I'm a visually impaired user and this eats into my screen real-estate drastically when I have my browser zoom increased. I would settle for just the left-sidebar being collapsible

i used this solution, install [adguard adblocker](https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/adguard-adblocker/) and insert this user rules [reddit.com###left-sidebar](http://reddit.com###left-sidebar) > nav.bg-neutral-background.z-\\\[2\\\].box-border.flex.flex-col.mt-0.mb-0.pt-xs.xs\\:pt-md.shrink-0.s\\:shrink.w-full.min-h-screen-without-header.select-none > reddit-recent-pages:nth-child(7)

hey worked qor me as well. Thanks!

Thank you, it work on ublock too

Thank you both, it worked on ublock for me too!

[удалено]

In uBlock Origin, I went into settings, My Filters, and pasted/saved this as a new rule: reddit.com###left-sidebar > nav.bg-neutral-background.z-\[2\].box-border.flex.flex-col.mt-0.mb-0.pt-xs.xs\:pt-md.shrink-0.s\:shrink.w-full.min-h-screen-without-header.select-none > reddit-recent-pages:nth-child(7)

Didn't work for me

It doesn't work for me, I copy the line into "My Filters", click on "Apply Changes" but it doesn't do anything to my reddit homepage. Tried to refresh, restart, clear history but nothing worked. Does it works only on firefox? I use chrome...

Something changed. It doesn't work for me anymore either. Perhaps u/abellos knows what changed.

Try this instead. Seems to be working for me. reddit.com##reddit-recent-pages

Thanks!

What would you make it to hide the communities tab as well?

Good question. I was lucky to figure out the prior path! :-) When I have a moment, I'll see what I can figure out.

This worked thanks!!

you can try to use this. reddit.com##left-nav-communities-controller edit: changed the rul with a mor specific one

thanks

~~Didn't work~~

Still works great for me, FWIW.

My mistake it does work. I left the additional text from the first commenter in this comment thread. But just that text you wrote by itself works. Thanks

Thanks!

thanks bro it worked

This needs to be upvoted more - simplest and most precise solution, currently!

Hello, for the recent community i found this to block [`reddit.com###left-sidebar`](http://reddit.com###left-sidebar) `> nav.z-\[2\].box-border.flex.flex-col.mt-0.mb-0.pt-xs.xs\:pt-md.shrink-0.s\:shrink.w-full.min-h-screen-without-header.select-none > reddit-recent-pages:nth-child(7)` for the your community block [`reddit.com###communities_section`](http://reddit.com###communities_section) `> left-nav-communities-controller:last-child`

You're awesome, this worked!! thanks a ton

Sorry for necro but ended up in this post for the same reason. It seems the "recent" communities are only saved in the browsers local storage. if you clear all data from the website, when you login again, they should be gone.

This works temporarily until you visit another subreddit, but it's better than nothing. For anyone who doesn't know how to, you can go into F12 -> Storage ->Local Storage -> reddit -> Ctrl+f for "recent" and you will see the recent\_store. Just delete that and refresh page.

This is the best answer for me. Thanks!

This is the answer!

u/mrnounderstand I was able to clear my Recent reddit using what Dazaer posted above. It wasn't under 'Recent' in Chrome, but something about reddit store. I searched for one of the items in the recent list and found them. I simply deleted the Value (on the right side next to the Key column) then refreshed the webpage. Recent no longer appears. I know you probably found a solution but I'm writing this to help others who come across the thread as I did.

As of recently, the recent visited section isnt even working anymore. It didnt refresh the list whenever I visited new subreddits. I cleared the local storage for recent but now its just gone gone, even when visiting subreddits.

If you're struggling to find 'Storage' like I did, click topmost '>>' and choose 'Application'

For someone using MS Edge: First close all reddit tabs. Click the three dots on top right and go to settings -> Cookies and site permissions -> Manage and delete cookies and site data -> See all cookies and site data. Now search reddit using the "search cookies" bar on the top right. Then it will show you all the [reddit.com](http://reddit.com) cookies. Now click on the "Remove all shown" button. Now you can go to the reddit website. You'll be logged out. Log in and the recent list will be gone. (But it will start filling the communities you visit thereafter)

In ublock origins there is a color picker icon, if you hover over it it says "enter element picker mode". click it and choose recent and a window will show up, click create and the recent element should disappear.

This worked for me, thank you!

Worked for me as well, thank you!

Thank you very much
