Yes, you can set that up. But most news communities such as /world, /worldnews, /news, and others are very US-centric. I wonder why that has to be the case when it should be clear to everyone by now that the White House is employing troll tactics.
Because the USA has so much military and economic power that it is the axis about which the English-speaking world turns. And it is making wildly stupid choices in its foreign and domestic policies, which gets peoples attention from both potential impacts to their own countries and out of sheer horror and exasperation. Finally, it has a huge population relative to any other english speaking nation, and its citizens will tend to vote as a bloc about things they find interesting. And the things they find interesting will typically involve their own nation. Germans, for example, will do this too - but there are far fewer germans than americans, so in an open market, American news gets the most votes from its citizens and ends up on top of the stack.
This is what I wanted to suggest. There’s just a lot of news happening in America right now, and because of America’s position in the western world that news has widespread implications.
Politics in America are also very dramatic, so the stories might drive more engagement from people into that sort of thing.
Nah, bullshit. Most news networks and media houses have marketing teams to spread their news links and artificially “boost” their links all over the place. Lemmy has these folks who pretend to be normal users but tend to only post news from specific websites or post tangetial links and then add in their own. And, they get to the top fast.
It’s social media marketing 101.
Normal lemmy users who actually got here to escape the vote manipulations or whatever in other networks usually post archived links, summary, or even the whole article in the text. You don’t normally see that with marketing accounts. And I’ve seen that’s grow ever more as the community gets larger.
But continue to think the US is the center of the universe and there’s no manipulation or marketing going on at all. It’s working out so well for it, they made a TV reality star president, TWICE.
Would that be J Lai Lu? And how would you make it show more often in your feed and us news show less often? That’s the kind of balance I’d like to get, useful us news about once a day and useful French news about once a day, instead of 10x of same Epstein news and 0 French/whatever
J’lai lu has news but it isn’t the only thing. it is the best I know but there might be something better. I don’t know how to search for communities by language. I actually read newspapers at the library when I want to read French news

Greatest show on earth, bby!

But you do you on your axis.
I don’t know for other countries, but I read French news in French. So the French instance is way smaller than the English speaking ones
