I've been told I need to read more sci fi by non-white authors and looking at my shelves I think it's true and I want to try something new. But I realised I sadly couldn't think of any authors off the top of my head! Can anyone recommend anything?

I'm not sure if this is a Lemmy thing or an app thing but when I look at my comments/ posts on my profile some of these are a different colour. What does this mean?

Want to hear about what sort of things you all have planned and coming up? Next one for me is Critical day time event in London: Enei, Kasra, Halogenix, SP:MC and others.

Is anyone else having issues with subscribing? I've tried on a number of different communities on different instances including the one I use and it was subscribe and then immediately unsubscribe.

Sorry if this is a dumb question or been asked before but I am struggling to find the 'communities' button if there is one, where you can view all? I saw it on a Lemmy guide but they were using a different app. Does anyone know the best way to find new without having to search for something specific? At the minute I am browsing all and finding things by chance. Thanks!
