If you like Space Opera, try the Kris Longknife series (starting with Kris Longknife: Mutineer) and the Aeon 14 books by M D Cooper (starting with The Complete Intrepid Saga) - all of which are on Kindle. Also on Kindle: Columbus Day (Expeditionary Force Book 1) All books in the series John Ringo's Empire of Man series starting with March Upcountry

As someone whose eye sight is shit, websites with grey text on an off-white page piss me right off.

Yay! The Nostromo finally gets a mention. The attention to detail in the ship is amazing and a whole new set of warning symbols were designed for it.

And the Kenyans. The English developed concentration camps in South African and used them in Kenya during the Mau Mau rebellion.

Pullo and Vorenus were great characters!

Lemmy is great. Altho now it's full of Linus apologists so it sucks atm. Also Memmy is fantastic!

Hello fellow Redditugee, I found Lemmy Explorer https://lemmyverse.net/communities to be very handy. I like the layout and the search/sort capability. The process I followed to subscribe to communities was to:

  • In Lemmy Explorer, click on the community@instance name (eg !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world), which automagically copies it to the clipboard.
  • Then in my home instance (aussie.zone) I clicked on the search icon (magnifying glass) and pasted the details into the search box.
  • I then click Next (not search).
  • The search will initially show "No Result" while it searched the Fediverse, but then the community will show up (I'm using dark mode so it shows up in green as a link).
  • I click on the link to open the community from my home instance and click on the subscribe button. Initially the community may be set to "Subscribe Pending" - I guess it needs to be reviewed. I've also managed to subscribe to Kbin magazines from Lemmy using this process. Note: this is on PC using Firefox
