This is an alternative building on top x0nix's answer, and only if you are happy hiding the the rows with jquery.

Copy pasting from the other answer the part that I reused

class HiddenModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
def get_model_perms(self, *args, **kwargs):
    perms = admin.ModelAdmin.get_model_perms(self, *args, **kwargs)
    perms['list_hide'] = True
    return perms

class MyModelAdmin(HiddenModelAdmin):
...

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)

Then install django-jquery and then add the following block in your /admin/index.html template:

{% extends "admin:admin/index.html" %}

{% block extrahead %}
    
    {% if app_list %}
      
   {% endif %}
{% endblock %}

You don't need to copy paste the whole template, just extend it and override the extrahead block. You'll need django-apptemplates for the above to work.
