I don't think that's what it's saying given that "sexual themes" is on this list as well. Seems more like they're saying "we're allowing more sexual content if it's properly labeled, but we're going to start keeping those labels off the home page, and while we're at it we'll take off a bunch of other objectionable content"

The default wallpaper looks so much like testicles photographed from below and I can't unsee it

The saying never says that you can make 999,999,999.99 honestly. It just says one amount you can make honestly and one amount you can't. The implication is that the outer limit of what you can make honestly is somewhere in between.

Haha yeah, good point. I guess I should have specified it would be a good post on this community specifically where people look to find handy tips for using Lemmy effectively. The fact that one of the huge instances where a lot of your search results come from when you're starting out looking for content has such an aggressive pro-totalitarian moderation strategy is an unexpected, but very useful insight.

Holy crap. This should be it's own post. Just purged all the "serious" communities I was following on there.

It doesn't seem that way. It seems like at least one person from your instance needs to have interacted with a community on another instance before it'll be included in partial match search results. If you manually navigate to one of the instances you federate with and look for a very small community there and then go back to your instance and search for some of the words in that community's name I don't believe it will come up. But then it you search for the community's exact fully qualified identifier it should come up and then once you subscribe it should come up if you try the previous search terms again. At least that's been my experience. As a result, to flesh out my subscriptions I've spent time manually browsing to other instances, finding interesting communities in their catalogue and then manually copying the identifier and then tabbing back to my instance to find the community with the identifier and subscribe, which admittedly is far from an ideal experience. Luckily I think there's a lot that the upcoming client implementations can do to make this discovery process easier.

This is definitely a gap on the main community pages, but in the interim, if you click into an actual post it shows the fully qualified community name at the top. At least that's what I'm seeing.
