Are there any active news communities similar to Lemmy/Reddit, but users can only vote and comment, not post articles?

Like, the site owners/employees/admins/mods are the only ones who choose what to post(and hopefully not extremely bias and a good spread of topics), but the users can still upvote/downvote the post as well as comment and all that?

I like the aggregation mark down style of these sites, but I am not sure about the curation being purely user based. I am curious if the users having a large majority control of the curation hurts the quality, and I'd like to see comparisons if they exist.

honestly, sounds like you are looking for a comment section on a news network to me. maybe im missing something.

I guess kind of.

But the idea would still be an aggregation of different sources, but mainly curated by a select few, rather than the full population. Users would still influence post order and all that.

Ohwell, I didn't think it'd exist, or be well known if it does, but was just posting to see if anyone here knew of anything.

Flipboard sounds a lot like what you're looking for
