  • That's why I subscribed to a ton of communities! It's nice having a curated homefeed versus shifting through c/all

  • It's the reason Wagner is in the region to begin with, and why Western militaries have a presence in the region. Definitely plays an important role in international interest as well.

  • The root cause of this is Islamic jihadism sprawling out of control across the Sahel. it's causing a ton of instability and governments are struggling to withstand it.

  • Yeah that would be great! Love the tool btw, I plug it whenever it's relevant

  • It's usually the fault of your insatnce (in this case, lemmy.world). It may be worth exporting your subscriptions and migrating to another instance if this is an annoyance.

    Usually, clearing app data/cache fixes this, if the issue with the instance itself has been solved.

  • I think the point of the meme is to imply that normal android will be snooping on you/taking your data.

  • Correct, though I'd be careful about adding such a list unless you're certain you won't mind all of these communities being added to your subscription list.

    The meme communities can overload your feed for example. Just a thought. Figured I'd add it anyway, they can easily be removed from the json before using it though so there is that.

  • Bonus: don't have time and want to just auto-subscribe to all (please note this isn't reversible without manually unsubbing yourself, there's a lot of niche communities here that may not appeal to you - you can remove them from the JSON file if needed)?

    • On PC, download this JSON file
    • On PC, download Lemmy Migration Tool (download the relevant .zip file)
    • Unzip folder, run file. Lemmy Migration Tool will now be open, like in this pic.
    • Note: in the Settings tab, you may wish to untick everything except Upload Community Subscriptions. Failure to do so may result in your Lemmy settings being changed.
    • Click the Upload tab. Then, enter your instance name and login details, click the upload button and upload the JSON file.
    • It'll automatically subscribe you to them all. If it looks like it's frozen, it hasn't. Just let it run. If you're on a small instance, you may need to re-run it a couple times (it can error if your instance hasn't discovered the community yet, this is solved on a rerun).

    Of course, some may not be of interest or may overload your feed (meme communities can do this). Unsubscribe as needed.

    I wrote this list for a curious person on the other site. It took me awhile, figured I'd share. Finding these places takes more time than I'd care to admit so... hopefully it saves you some, Lol. It's not an exhaustive list by any means, but is mostly places I find of interest and/or I think has good content. But there's definitely others out there I have missed (either intentionally or not). Lemmyverse is a great resource for finding new places.

    My rough criterion was:

    • Of interest to me or a wide audience
    • Has a decent amount of activity, at least a single page worth of posts.
    • Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities.
    • 0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc.
  • Here in the UK, I can get 1GB up/down for about £30 ($38, or ₴1,434.60).
