Regardless of the kind of news. I'm working on a TLDR bot and I'd like it to support the most used sites on Lemmy.

Of the big ones I prefer Reuters and APnews

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Support for both added, it should work when I release the bot.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Pretty much the main two that I use as well lmao

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Economist, Reuters, BBC, in no particular order.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reuters and BBC were already done. It seems that Economist requires a subscription or at least registration? I'm afraid I can't help with that.

There is a lot of washington post, NY times and the guardian articles on here. Thanks for the awesome work!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Washington post added, Guardian was already there, NY Times requires an account and enabled JavaScript.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the response and swift action! At the risk of asking an exceedingly dumb question: would it be possible to make one for archive.org? That way we could have articles from almost any source.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you send some link to an archive.org article? Can't find any there.

Not my most-frequented, but definitely the one I admire most:

My bot now supports it!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I generally get my global news from BBC world news. They're pretty professional, to the point without getting sensational. Euronews is pretty good too, with a bit more focus on European events obviously. You just have to be aware they've sold their soul to Qatar. Other than that they're unbiased too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Both are already supported in my bot! Didn't know the thing about Qatar, it sucks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Well, I understand they have to pay for the real journalist work. So you'll occasionally see a piece about how awesome it is to get married in Qatar! If you can see through the underhanded deals, it's not a big deal. Just don't count of them mentioning human rights issues about foreign workers' working conditions in the construction sector.

Improvethenews is a collection of all news sources and provides all sides of an argument. This is one of the best news aggregators.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

this is what I saw from the first thing I tapped lol. If this is the “best”, I weep for the worst.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I for one am shocked that a site that pretty much positions itself as the lead centrists has shit takes.

Take a look at the Media Bias Chart (adfontesmedia.com) and you can find the top quality news sources.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

not a website but a news aggregator app created by Instagram founders "Artifact"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

out of curiosity: do you feel compelled to move over to open-source, non-algorithmic based news aggregation?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

sounds interesting to me, I would definitely give it a try. artifact is not open source and it's AI powered. It seems to do a better job than a lot of news aggregators I tried before

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

do you use android or ios?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

if you have f-droid, try Feeder. you basically set up your own sources and categories.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

i mostly use bruh.news for everyday news, but it doesnt have the political articles like the Trustworthy Times

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No cookies gives a Rick roll instead of showing the site for bruh.news. No thanks.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you accept cookies it will also show you rick roll

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

set useragent to bruhnews and it should work

apparently its an ongoing bug with the website

Sadly triggers captcha, won't work for my bot.

NBC, CBS, BBC, Axios, Reuters, and APNews. I ditched CNN a while ago. Just as long as they're not conservative, and I carefully look at whether they're corporate or not and make my take based on that.

googled it to see if it was some new site, lol it's the Guardian.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's an old joke, Guardian was known for insane amount of typos

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

For Spanish news eldiario.es and elsaltodiario.com

For Andalusian news lavozdelsur.es

HackerNews. I get my world news and stuff from Lemmy or whatever. Only really care about the big stuff since too much news just stress me out.
