Also lotide, if you’re into a minimalist text-only interface.
For a FOSS but not federated option there’s Discuit.

Wow, I haven’t read The Stranger in ages. It’s nice to see they still have their old vibe in that announcement.
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:
!politics@hexbear.net
!politics@beehaw.org
!usa@midwest.social
!worldpolitics@lemmy.ca
!geopolitics@lemmy.run
!politics@sh.itjust.works
[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.]
The community was removed from lemmy.ml by their admins. Here’s the reason in the modlog:
Unmoderated duplicate of /c/usa . Any world-related can use /c/worldnews
Tangentially related: if you see something that needs to be addressed now, like CSAM or gore, notify an instance admin via Matrix. That tool can send push notifications, so you’re more likely to get a prompt response. Some instances also have public Matrix chats you can use.
You can find the Matrix account info for Lemmy users by clicking the “Send Secure Message” button in a user’s profile.
After digging into it, we banned the two sh.itjust.works accounts mentioned in this post. A quick search of the database did not reveal any similar accounts, though that doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
