r/AfroOptimist is a subreddit with 3k members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is medium in size.
So often all the news that comes out of Africa is bleak and dreary. This sub's aim is to contain only and (hopefully) all positive news from the different countries in Africa. Not just the big news, however small, but as long as it's in Africa and it's good, it is welcomed here!
