I’m in the Middle East, but I feel the same way.
Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?

My condolences. The middle east is a friggin inferno this time of year. Visited a middle eastern country a few years ago and I did not know heat until I spent two weeks in the month of July down there.
Was so fucking relieved when nighttime came and the temperatures lowered to 38C. :'D
I legit don’t know how you guys deal with that heat. I’m in awe.
fozie@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I live in western Anatolia and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations for Arabs and Russians. In the eastern part of Turkiye’s Mediterranean region, people sometimes take aim at the sun and shoot because of the heat.

Interesting meme. tbf, I don’t even know what a true world instance/feed would even look like. Is it possible??? Would we just have a single instance where you can choose a language option (wrapper/client type of deal) and it would layer in such a way that would translate flawlessly betwixt user post / reader / commentator??? Sounds interesting 🤔

If we do this, our kids will have to solve Spanish captchas before asking their french AI girlfriends to create mandarin memes.

I would love to see less America doom and gloom on lemmy. Why should we be the center of everything? More European-centric posts, please.

I never downvote Canada/Europe posts and I’m always happy to see the German memes materialize to take over the front page at like 3:00pm even though I don’t understand 95% of the content on ich_iel. I do kinda wish there was a larger international community on Lemmy.world.

Aye, that’s the point I’m making, I don’t go to to Feddit and acted shocked it’s a bunch of Germans talking about Germany
Dasus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Some twat of a mod removed a news article, a very popular post which I linked, because “it’s internal US news”. It was literally from the national broadcasting company of Finland, talking about our national Moomin characters. But no.
Lemmy is filled with Russian pretending to be Americans/Canadians/whatever

Dasus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
And they removed Stinky. That’s what the news was about. Since it happened in the US the mod removed it as “doesn’t belong to world news, purely US internal news”, despite it being reported on Yle.fi and being about most known Finnish characters.

DmMacniel@feddit.org 8 months ago
English based Platform? Uuuuh, buddy the fediverse is a global project and hosted in several different countries.
Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 8 months ago
What language are we communicating in? What language is the default for this platform? What language is used for the TOS? What language do the developers use? The Fediverse is a global project, but it’s also mostly English based.
Macallan@lemmy.world 8 months ago

Even as an American and as a supporter of the freedom of these federated model, I have to wonder if there should be a mandated taxonomy. I don’t want to restrict anyone’s freedom of expression, but I want there to be some basic organization such that I can be an informed consumer

Rarely I see a French post so I have a look but it’s usually random news. French memes are so boring, half of them are about bakery and stuff.
zaphod@sopuli.xyz 8 months ago
The french memes on !rance@jlai.lu are more about stuff and less about bakery, but they’re not that active lately.
Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I think there’s a place for a community called ‘epiceriedumemes’, a play on words denoting both variety of content (like an epicerie) and spicyness (epicier).
Then again, it also really invites more bakery memes, so idk.

It’s also nice when they come into our country-specific subs to tell us how things are in the US, as we get so little news about the US.
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
I seek out the non-US perspective. Sometimes you need someone else to show you that the Emperor has no clothes.
AA5B@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Or sometimes just to have a sane conversation.
Given practically any forward looking or quality of life topic: here it’s dominated by politics, illegal program cuts, incompetent leaders selected only for personal loyalty, breaking it for the sake of breaking it. Can’t we discuss things like adults?
Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I hear more news from the US than my own country. Granted, my own country’s politics are people respectfully discussing policy matters while US politics is like a circus and a pro wrestling league combined, with unimaginably high stakes.

Yup, though I lowkey prefer it because EU posts tend to attract more Hitlerite takes and comments. There’s just something about other Europeans that make them have an elevated level of nationalism

what? are you laying blame? or just bummed that no other nations news has a critical mass on lemmy to push stories from other nations on the all page? did you expect that to happen? or are you alleging that there is active suppression of other countries news?
