thanks! I notice that I might have to actually selectively hide the, as all/nothing seems to be a bit too blunt in my case. i will figure it out.

I noticed something strange though: the uncategorized category, which I had disabled the night before, seems to be showing in the hamburger menu. What’s up with that ([see other topic)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/uncategorized-shows-on-category-list-even-when-badge-suppressed/29195)
