funny 'insufficient material' rules

There are a million similar questions in the forum and the Q&A. It is being posted multiple times every day. Both black and white can still be mated.
#2 FM lovlas maybe it would be good to create a help section and post the rules for draw because of insufficient material, just because it is so frequently asked.

A help section with FAQ could be good also for other means.

could be helpful for the PremiumChess/FIDE rules that lichess nowadays has moved to.

For example: 56 Kb6 Nc5 57 Ka5 Kb7 58 a8=N Nd7 59 Nc7 Nb8 60 Nd5 Ka8 61 Kb5 Nc6 62 Kb6 Nb8 63 Nc7#
There is no "insufficient material" rule; there is merely a rule that if the opponent cannot checkmate by a legal sequence of moves then the game is ruled a draw.
