That explains why that when I searched for it from Lemmy.world it still showed up. There does need to be indication if an instance is limited it shouldn't be up to users to just simply know, not everyone keeps up with the fediverse news or knows what the best news sources are yet for fediverse regarding things like this. A simple indication of pottential limitations of instance would solve this best.

I've edited the post earlier with a different community for gaming.
