Hi! !main@fapsi.be is dead (as is the entire instance).
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
A more general Linux community than the one on heapoverflow, is on Lemmy.ml. Maybe it is a good idea to add that?
The idea is that we showcase the communities from smaller instances, to promote federation.
Loose rules for being included here are: 1. not hosted on a large instance (lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml)
