While sharing content is good, perhaps for future posts a digital source discussing the same news story could be linked-to instead?

You also don't seem to be marking the language of your posts before submitting them, though that's more understandable given that most Lemmy frontends don't seem to be developed with multilingual posting in mind.


If anyone else wanted to filter out non-English posts from their All feed, post URL regex filters seem to work well (though depends on Lemmy frontend support).

For this community, the syria\.tv and (?<!english\.)enabbaladi\.net filters worked for me.

In regex, the \ character removes any special meaning from the character after it (. is a regex wildcard character), while ?<!english\. ensures that any enabbaladi.net post URL with 'english.' at the start (i.e. an English language article) is not caught by a simple enabbaladi\.net filter.

These images are shared on the Telegram group for Syria TV, but not on their website. I am not sure that would be allowed on the community. I may add a link in a comment or in the body of the post for future news.

I specify the language of all my posts to this community. I thought it wasn't implemented on Lemmy. Maybe it's a federation problem between MBin and Lemmy?

Additional commentary form France24 (en Anglais):

https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20250212-syria-to-have-new-government-on-march-1-foreign-minister-says

"The government that will be launched March 1 will represent the Syrian people as much as possible and take its diversity into account," Shaibani said on the sidelines of the World Governments Summit in the United Arab Emirates.

The Syrian people would be "partners in change," he said, adding that "changes and adjustments we made over the past two months on the political roadmap were derived and inspired by consultations with the diaspora and civil society".

Let's see how it plays out.
