Ahmir Joliff, 11, was killed during Thursday's mass shooting at an Iowa high school, authorities said. Seven other people, including four students, were injured.
Welp best subscribe to dozens upon dozens of news subs instead of just a world News. Gotta find out what’s going on in the UK, France, Germany, Hungary, Austria, New Zealand, Australia, India, Egypt, Pakistan, Palestine, Argentina,Brazil, Uraguay, Ukraine, Romania, Sudan, South Korea, North Korea…
It doesn’t seem to be how it works in practice, though, since the largest news communities by far on Lemmy.world are worldnews (34k subscribers) for any non-US news and news (18k subscribers) for any news, US or otherwise.
The next highest news community dedicated to a specific country on Lemmy.world that isn’t the US is canada_news at 151 subscribers. There are several other larger news/worldnews/US news communities hosted on or federated with Lemmy.world in between.
The separation into specific country communities for a given topic is a bit of an odd categorization to make as well, given that we don’t really have separate communities for, like, Norway Dogs or Panama Gaming or China Technology or Brazil Music. And if there were, one would assume it would be targeted to locals of those countries and feature content in the native language, rather than appeal to an international audience.
Who says the only options are “world news” or “US news”? Just post in the relevant country’s news community. If it doesn’t exist, start it!
I always took “world news” to mean “news that affects the world”, which this definitely doesn’t.

I mean, yeah, that’s how it works. Sorry? I didn’t decide or design any of it.

You’d have to sub to their respective subs to get their local news, if something has international ramifications it doesn’t need to be world news.
