Hong Kong here. We have rice almost everyday and apparently, we don't import them from India. Yet the "Rice Association" said that due to the India ban, the price of rice in Hong Kong will likely to rise by 10% in October.

The nations used to import from India are buying from everyone else, and that drives up the prices.

I've used Lemmy more in the past 12 hours than I have in the past month since signing up. All because of Sync. in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released? in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

I was on Lemmy 2 months ago and haven't been back since. Using Firefox on my phone was just too slow for someone who was spoiled by Baconreader on Reddit.

With Sync, I think I'll come around more often.
