World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Distributing is still illegal except for clubs which is where the red tape is.
You also can only grow 50g for yourself but if you harvest more from your plants it's illegal to gift it to a friend
Not everyone wants to afford a 2-300€ growbox and not everyone has a balcony with enough light to grow themselves.
I hope it's just growing pain with the legalization as the clubs could only apply to start last week.
Once the first ones get going there's going to be a blueprint on how to do the same - it's going to be interesting how the black market will look like in a year when they are established sources of good quality weed
Its a weed. You can put seeds in the ground anywhere and it will just grow.
Bro, I had my first grow and its more than that, especiay if you live in germany, even with southern balkony, when there is no sun it will kot grow.
I had 3 plants and they made 4g haha I thought its easy too...
You can't plant it outside your flat as growing it where children could reach it is forbidden.
Also the weather is not stable and warm enough that it's going to grow well without ideal sunlight on a balcony (windows are already blocking out too much energy)
I grew 2 plants on an east-facing balcony that only has 3 hours of sun before noon and moved the plants across the flat for afternoon sun through the windows.
Got less than 5 grams out of it - a friend that I shared the seeds with that used the same earth and pots but has a south-facing balcony got more than 10g from a single plant
Sure it's a weed and won't die easily but the harvest will not be great without good conditions
