Feddit UK is great but at the moment there aren't any World News communities based on this server. UnitedKingdom@feddit.uk seems to be covering UK news which make sense.
There obviously doesn't need to be a specific separate community on every instance due to the nature of the fediverse, but I do wonder whether a World News community based on Feddit UK would be something a bit more unique that people might engage with?
The idea would be for people to post World News but preferrably from UK News sources (although not exclusively or too strictly) and to foster discussions that would be likely be more from UK users perspectives as it's based on Feddit UK? It's something that doesn't really work on Reddit but in the Fediverse a general community on big global servers and more regionalised communities seem to be something that co-exist? There can be News@feddit.UK and separate News@feddit.de and so on
Or would it be unnessary duplication and risk diluting communities that need to grow, build content and be broad appealat this stage? Also are some things just better done on a global scale to stop things being an echo chamber?
Very well put and I totally agree. It’ll be really refreshing to have these kinds of communities but with UK sources and discussions without the assumption that everyone is American!
Yeah, we may share a language but we are culturally very different and, unfortunately, English-speaking world news discussions tend to default to a US perspective.
