I vote for enforcing the rule.

Someone created /c/general for our general posting needs, let's use that one instead of spamming this one.

Can confirm I was looking for the right community to talk about this instance and when I saw posts about noodles I presumed this was not it (I actually didn't read the sidebar). Would be good to enforce moderation a bit more on this space. Not that I don't love noodles.

Honestly, the community should be called Lemmy World Announcements or something instead of just lemmy.world, which is vague and communicates nothing to the user. I don't know if Admins or mods can change the community name.

As server/instance announcements are incredibly important, I humbly suggest that this community be solely for server announcements, and nothing else. Can admins or mods restrict who is able to post here? Can they make it so only admins/mods can post, but everyone can comment? That seems ideal.

Then create a new community called [email protected], or @lemmyworldsupport, or something like that for user questions, input and feedback about the instance

Agreed, it's necessary to have a community for server/admin announcements and discussions, and this is the one

I think either the mods need to go nuclear and start issuing tmp bans for misusing this community, or we need to give up and move server/admin announcements to a new meta community.

I'm in favor of a new meta community, I don't think people understand or care what this community is supposed to be about and I think its name is too cool for people to give up trying to turn it into /r/everythingidontcarewhatever/

cc @[email protected] who is a mod here. FWIW, I feel like there's so much garbage here that I'm losing visibility for server/admin posts which are both... like... essential for the health of the community... and also legitimately interesting to me.

Browsing from kbin and have been considering blocking this mag. It's so random and constantly in my front page.

There’s a featured mod post by Sun-Spider that indicates these non-server related posts should be in the general community.

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 of allowed threads outlined in that post.

You not liking the meme format is one thing which I fully respect (in which case, as for any content you don't like, you can either ignore it, downvote it and/or express your disagreement), but to go and make it an example of community rules breach is a bit of a stretch.

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

One asked me to stop reporting as the posts were allowed, and the other thanked me and mentioned there’s some internal confusion.

It seems to me that you aren't advocating for a "clarification", but rather for a change of the rules because you are frustrated that the community is not moderated the way you want it to be moderated.
