What happened in Nepal? Ive not been in lemmy, or news sites in almost a month. Im very out of the loop on this one.

I love Lemmy and I enjoy that it's less of a constant news+politics festival than Reddit, but the downside of that is that you won't get exposure to some pretty important events just by browsing the top posts. You have to go to a news comm, can't rely on the community to put the most important news at the top. Many days there have been huge news events and the top Lemmy posts are all comics and memes - nothing wrong with that! The community can be whatever it wants. But as a user , especially if you're coming from Reddit, you've gotta know to supplement your news with other sources (which really you should be doing anyways).

Yeah, I get that. Thats not what this is though. Ive been on lemmy ever since the reddit API exodus fiasco. This was an intentional, out of the loop moment on my part. Ive been so focused on whats going on in the news over the last 6 months, it was starting to affect my mental health, so I took a break from lemmy.
