Can someone provide a quick rundown on what makes them "problematic" to cause such a reaction?

To be fair, Cowbee didn't specify that they successfully tried it!

Someone needs to make an infinite recursion GIF of this!

Also I think the group should align politically

I think it's best if people get along well with each other despite possible conflicting political views.

Sure, but then the question is: Winter time or summer time?

I'm not sure if the European people are equally united in this question.

We forgot to backport the above fix to 0.19. I did that now, sooner or later we might release 0.19.10 with that.

"sooner or later"

Is this meme about the "proud Polish girl from Toronto"? Or is it only me who got those messages?

Edit: I just checked out another post about it in this community, I guess that answers it.

I don't know the context of this comment but it seems like they are only quoting the About section of toots.matapacos.dog (hexbear-like mastodon instance), so I don't think the title is 100% accurate even though I'm aware of lemmy.ml's shitty moderation.

It would have been cool to involve the community by doing some kind of art contest. (Not saying I would participate, I just like the idea.)

It's because OP made two separate posts and therefore uploaded the image twice so lemmy doesn't recognize it as cross-post (check the image URLs, they are different). If OP properly cross-posted it, the URL would be the same and you wouldn't see it twice in your feed.

• Rate Your Music charts or lists

If you don't have a problem with sharing your listening data:

• Last.fm (for example, check "similar to" section of artist pages or "similar albums" of album pages)
• ListenBrainz, a free and open source alternative to Last.fm (for example, Music Neighbourhood, ListenBrainz Radio, or the "Created for you" playlists (they have been criticised by people for having too little variety, but according to the devs this will increase as more people use the service))

Or you can just ask people for recommendations.

I'm assuming this has something to do with the update to 19.4 that somehow messed up the Lemmy Crawler. awesome-lemmy-instances seems to have a similar problem.

I don't think @[email protected]'s information is correct because I remember seeing lemmy.ml in the instance filter list just a while ago.

Also: What does any of this have to do with the moderation of lemmy.ml? I also don't like their moderation but does that mean the instance and their communities shouldn't be visible on the Lemmy Explorer? Who should decide which instance should or should not be included on the list? If you want to avoid the instance like I do you can just use the filter to remove lemmy.ml communities on the community browser of the Lemmy Explorer.
