LJ Help?

I recently joined a comm and added it to my friend's list like normal, but the members have a tendency to forget to put things behind a cut at least twice a week.  Since it can have some rather risque manips posted to it, I was wondering if there was a way to remain a member of the comm without having it appear on my friend's list?  I want to retain posting access and the ability to read anything locked.  I know it can be set up like this to start with, but I didn't do that.  I guess I could unjoin then rejoin, but I was hoping it might be easier than that.  I'm just a little tired of scrolling down my list and being surprised by NSFW items in all their living glory right when my kids happen to walk into the room. 

Is there anyone who can talk me through it in little baby steps?  (This does not mean sending me to the FAQ's, those are often far more complicated than I can deal with).


Edited to add:  Thank you.  You guys are awesome at all things LJ!
