Yeah. I’m really suprised how uncommon it is to defed lemmy.ml.

  1. The Lemmy developers are also the admins of that instance, so they choose to put release announcements into communities on it.

  2. something about the list of communities that exist (probably new ones?) also comes from that instance.

Both of these have alternatives available, but I guess you can't really argue about conflicts of interest when Lemmy is their software, that we (freeloaders) choose to use. If we want something different, we would need to build it (as both PieFed and Mbin have done:-).
