Submit a Feature Request via the Microsoft Feedback Portal
Since the hide conversation feature has been removed by Microsoft, submitting feedback or voting on existing requests is the primary way to prompt developers to restore it.
Microsoft actively monitors user feedback to evaluate and prioritize product improvements. If a removed feature receives enough community support, it may be reintroduced in future updates.
Navigate to the official Microsoft Feedback Portal in your web browser and select Yammer (or Viva Engage) from the product list.
Use the search bar to look for terms like 'Hide Conversation' or 'Remove post from feed' to see if other users have already requested this feature.
If you find an existing request, click the 'Vote' button to show your support. You can also leave a comment explaining why this feature is important for your workflow.
If no relevant threads exist, click 'Send feedback' to create a new post detailing your need to hide specific conversations in your feed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Has Microsoft permanently removed the hide conversation feature in Yammer?
Microsoft frequently updates features based on usage telemetry and user feedback. While the feature is missing in the current interface, highly voted feedback on the Microsoft portal has successfully brought back deprecated features in the past.
Can I mute a Yammer community instead of hiding a single conversation?
Yes, if a specific community is cluttering your feed, you can mute the entire community. Navigate to the community page, click the ellipsis (...) menu, and select the option to mute the community, which stops its posts from appearing in your Home feed.
Is Yammer the same as Viva Engage?
Yes, Microsoft has rebranded Yammer to Viva Engage. The platform is now heavily integrated into Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365, though the core functionalities remain similar and many users still refer to it as Yammer.
