Interesting News from Around the World

New [email protected]English • 1 year ago

Previous post here https://lemmy.zip/post/61844, reposting as the community had to move due to vlemmy.net closing.

Why I created another news community?

Spreading the communities to not all be centered around a few big instances. Just a few days ago lemmy.world and lemmy.ml were down at the same time, rendering biggest news communities inaccesible.
I also was sad to see that a lot of “World News” communities had an exclusion rule of a certain region. Which made no sesne to me.

You mean they don’t include US news, and yours does?

    I agree with you that more news communities is a good idea.
    
    As well as your own new community, you would probably enjoy the world news at kbin social, their rules specifically state that US news is world news.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it’s important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world’s rules, which can be found here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

[email protected]

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
