This community sidebar reads:

This Community is intended for posts about the Lemmy.world server.

That means announcements from the team, issues you see etc.

But I’m seeing off-topic posts that cloud the purpose of this community.

There’s a featured mod post by Sun-Spider that indicates these non-server related posts should be in the general community.

Full disclosure: I reported some posts and heard back from two admins, supplying contradictory info. One asked me to stop reporting as the posts were allowed, and the other thanked me and mentioned there’s some internal confusion.

Since this is all new, even for the mods/admins, I want to be clear that I’m not trying to throw anyone under the bus or stir the pot. I’m just hoping for some clarity so we know where to direct these posts, and where to watch for updates.

Edit: removed links to off-topic posts

      Let them post in another community. I care about the server admin announcements here that I cannot get anywhere else, not so much about hotdognoodlememes which I already can’t open my browser without getting smacked in the face with.

      There are 109 communities on this server, one hundred and nine, why do you have to spam the only one that should be dedicated to server announcements??

      It won’t work outside tiny communities which this is not.
