What we’re looking for–
Being a news community, moderating here is essential. Moderation of news preferably requires leaving personal biases aside and allowing otherwise relevant content to stay up even if you disagree with it. Also, posting from less biased sources is always preferred.
This worked for me: https://lemmy.world/c/news@beehaw.org
It took me a while to figure out but there are two link buttons under each post. One goes to the local copy and one goes to the hosting instance. That just seems like a UI issue needing tweaking.
Communities are more interesting if they reach a certain size where there are enough posters to cover the significant events in that topic. Reddit’s r/news is huge and the smaller news subs are almost insignificant by comparison. Here, the fragmentation keeps everything small, I think that makes it harder to reproduce Reddit’s success.
