I’m talking to a masto user, who writes great threads on the Russian war situation, about posting their threads here too … what would be the best place and way of doing so? (lemmy.ml)

My initial thought was for them to start their own posts in a news community and then provide their own thread of comments within that post. This way they wouldn’t have to do anything different from mastodon but both platforms would get to see their threads.

But then, it seems news communities like World News on Lemmy.world kind of have rules against posts to social media content. Maybe an exception could be made for this person because they are constantly citing primary sources.

Otherwise I’m not sure what else would be the best spot for such a thing.

Any suggestions?

Why not just have a bot repost their content here. Many people do this for rss feeds like Reddit subs and such. Same with Twitter accounts being reposted on mastodon

Well sure. Except we already have federation between instances and platforms. I think we should learn to use it!

Also this doesn’t solve my problem of where to post such content.
