    There isn't a specific button that hides a site activity from the SharePoint home page.

     

    As a workaround, hiding your document library from search results will also block recent activity from it to show up in the SharePoint home page. However, doing this means that your document library files also won't show up in search results.

     

    To do this, you may go to your Document Library Settings where your file resides > Advanced Settings > Allow items from this document library to appear in search results?

     

    Set it to No.

     

    Note: This option should take a few hours to be active.

  • Basically you cannot hide user activities in the SharePoint landing/home page...what it's strange to me is what you mention that the activities begun to appear yesterday since this experience has been part of the landing/home page since a while ago
