I can recall two instances of Lemmy making the news…
One, IIRC is of some person who carried out political violence or some other nasty thing who also just so happened to host a Lemmy server in the years pre-Reddit-exodus for unrelated reasons. I can’t remember enough details to find the article if someone can help.
The second is a 404media article crediting @silence7@slrpnk.net for spotting missing sections of the Constitution on the White House website (article,discussion)

Yeah I got stoked for the 404 article. Keep up the original posts folks!
Was the political violence one the anti child dude? I used to have his profile bookmarked.
Yeah it could have been that.
There was another one about a year ago about bluesky or madtodon that also referenced the fediverse. I’ll look for it.
