Hi all. So I made:
The thinking is that there isn’t a good home for non-political US news on Lemmy. There are three obvious communities, but one is on lemmy.world, one is defederated from lemmy.world, and one is on an instance that I find just slightly off-putting.
My questions are two:
- Is this useful? I assume I’m not the only one who feels like this is needed.
- How do people feel about a news+politics community, versus a strictly non-political news community? There are plenty of good places for US politics. I could go either way, but personally I tend to like the news+politics combination, and I think a lot of the big news in the US for the next few years is going to be political.
Let me know your thoughts, have a good weekend.
Thanks for doing that.
I have removed all midwest.social communities from https://piefed.social/topics and added their alternatives (this new communitiy and theonion@shitjustworks) instead.
Thank you!
That’s great! I would also add [email protected] as well. That should help - I think of that instance as almost part of the big 3, with the unique exception of it being the admins while the users are mostly not even aware.
