Is lemmy.world federated with bad instances? (cw: nsfl) (lemmy.ml)

I saw talk of them being federated with instances like "exploding heads" (literal neo-nazis) and "posting lolis rocks", along with having interactions from users there. Is that true? idk how to check for that, I can only just barely stumble around the normal forum interface.

If so, why? They've been going hard on purging communists user-by-user and comment-by-comment, which seems like a little bit of a secondary concern to nazis and pedos, especially something as simple as just blocking the instances at the very least. What's going on over there?

What I mentioned, if it is correct, might not be exhaustive, I'm just repeating what I heard about.

Edit: Correction, exploding heads are closer to being latter-day blue checks, complete garbage but not as pressingly bad as the other site.

Sure, like when imgur was changing it's policy recently, people were asking for alternatives, the first search result of a suggested hosting site (don't remember which) in duck duck go was an album of a child in swimsuit doing suggestive poses, pretty disturbing, that's a clear line I agree with.
