Hello! I created two communities, one about our health, and the other about our planet's health.
* [!environment@midwest.social](https://midwest.social/c/environment)
* [!health@midwest.social](https://midwest.social/c/health)
Feel free to subscribe and contribute!
Hello! I created [!business@midwest.social](https://midwest.social/c/business) for discussion and sharing of links about business. The community isn't necessarily pro- or anti- business. Feel free to subscribe and share!
Just to note the title is misleading – these were not staff nor paid. They got it right in the article, at least:
Two high-ranking “admins” – volunteer administrators with privileged access to Wikipedia, including the ability to edit fully protected pages – have been imprisoned since they were arrested on the same day in September 2020, the two bodies added.
I am working on creating !communities@midwest.social , which will be for listing and discovering new communities, preferably those on smaller instances (to promote federation). It’s currently unfinished but I’ve been slowly working on adding new communities. Feel free to suggest any!
This is the list of recommended communities. Loose rules for being included here are: 1. not hosted on a large instance (lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml), 2. follows the rules on the sidebar, 3. has some activity. Exceptions may be made for certain communities.
Note: these links take you to each communities' home instance. In order to subscribe, you must select and copy the links into the search bar on your instance.

*still under construction*
Don’t how up to date this is, but here are a few communities:
I’d suggest TILvids.com One of the more popular “edutainment” focused instances of peertube, and its content is well moderated.
Really dissapointed in the outcome of the senate, yet again.
From the article:
The five-year deal that the Biden administration helped negotiate includes a 24% pay raise and $5,000 in bonuses. Because the pay raises are retroactive to July 2020, the average rail worker will receive back pay of about $11,000.
The passed bill is the absolute least that could be done. Still though, the workers need to keep fighting for an humane amount of sick days.
great update, lots of good quality of life features.
rip the c/main community, may you live in peace
