What do you miss from reddit?

Minorities. I feel like most people here are americans/europeans, which kind of makes a bubble.
- Indeed, but it's already an improvement over the US defaultism on Reddit
  
  Heh, there's already tons of US defaultism here anyway ;) Anyways, i don't really think EU-defaultism is too much better.
  It also makes me very uncomfortable seeing people on lemmy support countries and politicians that are literally funding multiple genocides of arabs, and exploiting the third world for profit. I always loved r/arabs and other minority communities as a balance of sanity for that.
  Lemmy's supposed to be an international community, but i feel very second-class here :p
  
  As of this moment, is there any Arab community that people can join? I remember the existing one having debatable moderation
  
  I mod !arabs@lemmy.dbzer0.com. Though ironically, when i make posts in arabic there i get downvoted 🥲 There's more westerners (thinking that it's a community for news, not for arabs) than actual arabs there.
  
  First time I hear about it, have you ever promoted it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca ? 😄
  
  Actually nope, i completely forgot lol. We actually have 58 members already, somehow? All i do is post news articles for now :^)
  
  Promoting it would probably help, there are probably other Arabs around, they just don't know about the community
  
  There are other arabs, i do get to talk to them sometimes (i recognize them all, i don't know if all of them recognize me tho lol)
  I love talking to them, i just wish there were more to talk to.
  I'll promote it later :-)
  
  Cool to see!
