Can we get a ruling on the purpose of this community? (lemmy.world)

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

Looks like you haven't looked at the tl;dr of the same post you linked to then. But my meme you apparently have a problem with along with the discussions in its comments does specifically fall under the scope outlined in the tl;dr.

You not liking the meme format is one thing, but to go and make it an example of community rules breach is a bit of a stretch.

I won't comment on the others but reporting and shaming posts in public is source of toxicity, the mods already answered you in private since, I quote:

I apologize. I didn't click into your meme post. I'll edit my post to avoid the impression of shaming, as that is definitely not my intent. I'll work on my communication.
