    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

      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 :

        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 :)

          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?

            PieFed is a software that support flair, tags, multicommu…your instance has opened a PieFed instance there : https://piefed.world

            The account on jlai.lu allow ya to use local shorting so you can switch to french content or english easily as we do.

            A flux, is a piefed feature, this is a multicommunity. They can be public (shared to everyone) or private. So you can create flux based on countries, language, whatever come to your mind…on subcribe to an available flux, import existing one to your piefed instance…

        J’lai lu has news but it isn’t the only thing. it is the best I know but there might be something better. I don’t know how to search for communities by language. I actually read newspapers at the library when I want to read French news

        And how would you make it show more often in your feed and us news show less often?

        I sort by scale for this
