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.

    I’m not sure about benefits besides potentially different moderation teams if either of them turns into a bit of a cesspool.

    I clicked your link and it didn’t lead me anywhere, however, and I have seen that many times if communities in other instances are not linked correctly, it will log you out when you go there if you’re from lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc.

    It’s all a bit confusing with the instances and redundant communities, but I suppose the major difference would be that people tend to end up on their own instances community for whatever the topic is.

      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.
