  I get the impression that there’s huge appetite in India for solar and other renewables, but as with many things, a lot of issues with implementation. A few weeks ago I was traveling in some fairly remote regions of the Northwest and even these tiny little villages in the back-country had a few solar panels scattered around— but it was only one or two. I wonder whether trust issues like a lack of on-the-ground familiarity with how to independently install and repair solar is a contributing factor, since there’s definitely no shortage of enthusiasm on the government/NGO level.

  The Fediverse is great, but I think just because of the lack of algorithms and other content-promotion methods I actually find it a bit harder to break out of my ‘silos’ in some places. Lemmy isn’t too bad for this, but I’ve really struggled to find other people to follow and engage with on Mastodon as somebody on a small local instance. Little things like the Mastodon phone app not listing followers from other instances contributes to this.
