--------------------------+-------------------------------
 With PHP 8.1 and WP 6.3.1
 If the commmunity-events on dashbord is on, it will produce lots of
 warnings:

 {{{
 Deprecated: html_entity_decode(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string)
 of type string is deprecated in wp-includes/widgets.php on line 1626
 }}}
 if I delete the View of Community-Events from the Dashboard & delete the
 related transient the message is gone.

 The related Transient:
 _site_transient_community-events-3383c416d96e7e74e08084a6fca31eaf

 It caused also an unserelize PHP Error in query monitor.

 belonging to this is also Transient:
 _transient_feed_f014c832422b67a4cec692b17aa40756

 This happens meanwhile on 4 totally different wordpress installations and
 hoster.
