Don’t be fooled, check the fediseer link provided in the post for examples
Their biggest community is a MAP community where they don’t even pretend to not be pedos

Is there additional information that would tilt the scale toward this being promotion rather than simple indexing?
It is simple indexing but other pedophile instances like burggit and comfysnug were removed from that list of instances to join. It isn’t a good look when someone is looking to join an instance and they see that one as one of the first to join, especially if they are looking for an LGBT-friendly instance. I dont want anyone to be fooled when trying to look for a lemmy instance to join.
Guess that’s a good thing, I had to look me into it as I thought this post was just another alt right witch hunt for trans people. Maybe a kink instance could be made with hard rules about that stuff. Really a LGBT community with a wiki would be good. I just got on here so maybe something like that already exists.
If anything, lemmy is making the LGBTQ+ community look bad by promoting this instance, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are people pretending to be LGBT over at that instance to make the community look bad.
You realize that they host MAP, beastiality, and zoophilia communities?
It’s one thing to host kinky communities (a-ok as long as it’s legal), it’s another to host pedo communities. Check the fediseer link listed in the post for examples.
I don’t have a link, but the lemmy creators (and maintainers of join-lemmy) answered this in a AMA about a month ago. They said they’d prefer the horrible people concentrate in their own instances so we can block them easily rather than have them in our instances. The join lemmy list does not serve as an endorsement, but a catalog of all available instances.
Neither burggit nor comfysnug are shown on the instances page.

True but it still isn’t a very good look for lemmy.
Thank you
