I appreciate the initiative.
You put in your first rule that you would not list communities from large instances but you list lemmy.ml in the fediverse section.
Apart from that remark, were the following communities considered to be included in this list?
Humanities
Environment
Music
Finance
Technology
Computing
Fediverse
Self-hosting
XMPP
Security & hacking
Encryption
Space
Entertainment
Politics
Geopolitics
Privacy
Africa
Europe
Poland
It feels less arbitrary to me that the community about lemmy can be hosted on lemmy.ml? Maybe thats just me though.
Thanks for listing the rest of the other communities, they definitely will be included on the list.
Hi! !main@fapsi.be is dead (as is the entire instance).
