Whereas here you are talking about communities, which should be visible across the Federation regardless - subject to the standard, complex set of rules (which you are working to lower the barrier for with all your alts pre-subscribing:-).
And to complicate matters further, it sounds like these communities have been missing from that list for many months now already. So this truly might be a unique situation, if that instance has actively removed consent to be listed there? Perhaps they would reconsider offering their consent to listing the communities if asked though?
which at least one person said was removed deliberately so as not to overload them - so presumably by their own consent and likely even request
Presumably being the key word here. It’s not clear based on this comment. It might have been a Lemmyverse decision to remove all of the .ml communities because they disagreed with the instance admins political stances.
Didn’t know! Were there any responses from the .ml admins?
I also noticed that this post is not available on lemmy.ml, apparently they banned the post. Looks like they banned the OP from the instance.
It looks like admins from .ml ban people who write bad things about CCP and .world admins ban people who can write bad things about US imperialism. They both think that they fight trolls and usually it’s the case.
For example, the banned OP wrote something like “Why, to ban criticism about China more actively?” in https://feddit.nl/comment/10140068 (6 days ago, while the post was created 9 month ago!) which is definitely not okay behavior.
There is some drama, but at the same time some only exist there (see this post: https://lemmy.world/post/16235541)
For instance
So I wouldn’t say it’s such a good idea to not show them at all.
This is a bit of a tangent though - OP was talking about instances, which at least one person said was removed deliberately so as not to overload them - so presumably by their own consent and likely even request?

Those communities should be urged to move away from lemmy.ml.
Feel free to organize the migration
I am one of the victims of the censorship you say doesn’t happen, so I am banned on lemmy.ml for making a comment about the Tiananmen Square massacre.replied to the wrong comment
Where did I say that censorship does not happen?
I’ve been busy posting to [email protected] for the last week following your post.
You don’t need to have an account on lemmy.ml to organize the migration (I did not post there). Organizing the migration means
You didn’t, I got your comment mixed up with what someone else said on another comment chain, and I apologize.
No worries! I was also a bit harsh, I edited my comment.

I criticize US imperialism all the time. Not even a warning let alone a ban. So I don’t think that’s the case.
