I strongly disagree with the decision to centralize all ukraine war news in a megathread.

That's not how information is consumed on a medium like Lemmy. What you're doing makes the topic invisible for the vast majority of users.

I just realized that this is an active thread, I thought the feed hadn't updated since June 25th, as many other community feeds are intermittent or have multi day lags. Maybe have a daily thread or something to indicate aliveness?

I totally agree with you. This is a very inefficient way to share information, blending comments with postings.

The solution is to have the option to filter dominant topics the same way /r/worldnews does. We should do this in addition to having a megathread, again just like /r/worldnews.

Too many things happening to make a new post for every single event.

Dude this is over two weeks old already. The date in the title makes it look like it was a daily thread for that one day. You're effectively hiding news from a large fraction of subscribers with this policy.

Yeah the megathread being so old is an issue. I meant a megathread being daily would make sense.

Ah, I just realised, I mistook you for someone else. I guess because of the vowel, I thought you're @Ruud who runs this lemmy instance.

That's why I wrote as if you're the one making the decision - sorry.
