This suddenly does not work

edit:

It looks like the problem is on lemmy.ml, not lemmy.world

https://lemmy.ml/c/politics

Does not work either.

There are so many politics communities, but before you mentioned this I didn't realize how concentrated they are on .ml and .world. These look like the most-subscribed USA and World politics communities that aren't on .ml or .world:

[Edit: Though I listed them here, the hexbear and beehaw communities are not accessible to large swaths of the Lemmy user base due to instance defederations.]

Don't link the Hexbear community. If you think .ml is bad, they're 100x worse.

Thanks for the list!

I've heard bad things about hexbear and beehaw. But I looked at these other two.

[email protected] -- unfortunately too many dumb restrictions.

Rule: Title must match the article headline <-- definitely a deal killer because often journalists use dumb headlines or leave the most important things out of the headline.

Rule Recent (Past 30 Days) <-- also a deal killer. Relevant is more important the recent. They are not the same things. "Recent" is only an imperfect proxy for "relevant".

[email protected] -- We have a winner!

Rule: Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech. <-- perfect

I would also welcome suggestions for "news" groups outside of lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. [email protected] is okay so far but I'm always looking for possible alternatives.
