Lemmy FedNews Community / Server as a subreddit backup? (lemmy.world)

Does anyone know of any Lemmy communities / instances that could act as fednews alternatives?

With all that's happening, I've found that subreddit to be a valuable source of news, and I also think that means it'd be a prime target for Musk and co if they gain even more power than they already have.

In the event that happens, perhaps a new Lemmy community / instance would organically grow, but I think there might be real value in having a "ready-made" migration location, especially if r/fednews users can be informed beforehand.

Before you asked, "why not you, OP?"... I just don't have the time to properly moderate a community, nor the technical know-how to run a large instance.

Try on !newcommunities@lemmy.world , it is more active than here

!AskUSA@discuss.online can be an option too

Good thoughts; thanks for the suggestions

This is something I'm also interested in

I think it's becoming more necessary with every passing day. I don't trust reddit, not with the Trump regime in power.
