A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

An ammunition warehouse was hit, triggering secondary explosions. Seven people in Vyshneve were killed, while 29 others suffered injuries.
So the damage caused by these secondaries probably lead to these deaths, hence why Ukraine is going public about it.
The Ukrainian language isn't allowed here for some reason. On a community called "World News" that says "Not United States Internal News"[sic] in the rules. Or it's not the community fault, I don't know...
I believe they do this because they want all articles to be in English. The way they implement this is to allow only the Latin script to be used for submissions.
Mod (on another community) here. You can select specifically which languages you want to allow, and then if the user tell it is written in another language (through the dropdown near the editor), it will refuse the post.
You can still post in Ukrainian if you lie and tell it it is English 😆.
You can, but don't expect that to spark a lot of discussion. Limitation is set to English so that majority of participants can understand what you're saying. It wouldn't add much to the thread if this comment was written on Finnish (my native language).
That's honestly one thing Google is great about in the YouTube comment section. Credit where credit is due. I've had full on complex discussions with a Russian, a Turk, some Arabic speakers (wasn't sure from where but they were responding in Arabic), and we could almost understand each other 😂😂
If you are replying to someone claiming to be Finnish followed by some bs then maybe it would...
