When you join a Google+ Community, the default is for new posts to the community to appear in your home stream. If you are a member of a lot of communities - or just one very popular one - that can flood your stream with posts.
How can you tell the source of a post? In the upper right corner there will be a green Google+ Communities symbol
. Fortunately it's easy to changes community settings so the posts don't appear in your Home stream.If the symbol in the upper right corner looks like a flame
it's a What's Hot and Recommended post. You can also prevent What's Hot posts from appearing in your stream.It's just a few simple steps to disable community posts in your stream on either a desktop computer or the Google+ app:
Adjust community posts in your stream on a desktop computer:
1. Sign in to Google+ and open the community page.> If you see a community post in your stream you can click the community name on the top of the post.
> You can find all your communities by clicking "Communities" in the left menu (plus.google.com/communities)
Note: there is no way to make the changes in bulk - you will need to change the settings on each community page individually.
2. On the community page click the gear icon below the community name on the left
3. De-select the option to have community posts appear in your home stream or click "Amount" and select the option to show "Fewer" posts.
