World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Was it really necessary for you to post this in no less than 5 different communities? You've been called out for this before and claimed you'd start using crossposting.
I really don't need my feed showing the same story that many times, it's redundant and pointless. If you want to karma farm, go back to reddit.
This is the first time I’ve seen it.
If you want to complain about crossposting, go back to Reddit. Lemmy is almost purpose-built for posting in multiple locations, because federation means not everyone will see every instance.
I will not upvote nor downvote because idk if you’re being sarcastic or not. But to clarify, the purpose of Lemmy is to be able to federate and see what’s on other communities, hence no reason for needlessly cross posting…
This is cross-posting only. I saw this in tutorial. I follow these steps:-
I am not karma farming!
I have no intention of spamming or karma farming, it means nothing on lemmy, spamming & karma farming was the reason why i switched from reddit to lemmy & mastadon. If anyone want to karma farm they can create own server, create multiple fake accounts and keep up-voting themselves. So your allegation of karma-farming is useless.
Why do I cross-post?
I cross-post so a particular article can reach to all the ** relevant ** communities. I have never cross-posted to irrelevant communities.
I'm attaching a screenshot which shows me it is crossposted. I would really appreciate if you start looking situation in depth before assuming things. I just wanted to reach this article to all the relevant communities. That's it.
As a suggestion, I think it might be a good idea to space out the submissions by some amount of time, like half an hour or so. I’d guess the biggest gripe that people have is that it occupies a large chunk of the timeline simultaneously and it’s just weird to suddenly notice it. Here’s how it looks like for me.
This isn't a user behavior problem, it's a client code problem. Not wanting to see duplicates is reasonable, but expecting cross-posters to time-gap their cross-posts is not. There's already a feature request to fix this for the Lemmy web UI, other clients will need to decide whether and how to handle cross-posts.
I agree that it should be a platform feature, just offering a suggestion how to evade some scrutiny for now. People seem to comment about it quite often, so it might be an ok temporary solution.
And, you know, it does look weird.
Even worse, it seems the block user functionality on kbin isn't currently working.
No one wants to see the same article spammed 5 times in a row on their feed.
