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

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