Hi all. So I made:

[email protected]

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.

Thank you for creating this, looks like a good combination to [email protected]

Subscribed, I'd like a USA news community that tries to somewhat eschew politics. Yeah, politics seeps into everything, but seeking out news that doesn't lean into it is valuable given how easy it is to find political news elsewhere on Lemmy.
