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.
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
That’s why we moved our french communities there, on jlai.lu. so if you have a jlai.lu account, you can set your timeline to local and then every news will be french.
There is another solution : PieFed. With PieFed account, you can subcribe to the flux i created :
I appreciate all the info, unfortunately there’s several things that confuse me.
What’s piefed, is this an instance or an app?
What do I do if I want Australia, France and a few other countries, do I need accounts in multiple instances? How do I find them? Can I have all of their posts collated simultaneously in my racoon app?
What’s a flux?
Is there a book “Lemmy for Dummies”? Or perhaps a ted talk course to teach me basics?

Greatest show on earth, bby!
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

Oh i forgot, on piefed, we have a keyword filter. You can add trump, musk, eipstein and then ask piefed to hide or blur those posts.
I hope it helped ya somehow :)
