No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'm testing Kagi News (using it along with other news) and I can cautiously recommend it by now. First of all, do read their About page. If this doesn't speak to you, then I guess you can stop reading now. But for me, it hits the nail on the head.
It's basically an AI driven news aggregator. It's one of the rare cases where I think it's AI done right. Kagi News works with a community curated list of news sources (RSS Feeds) and summarizes them into max. 12 topics per day per category. Most of it is open source and you can contribute to the sources with PRs if you want. I created a separate category for my country for instance.
What I like about it: They try to be as neutral as possible. For example they have a section "Perspectives" where you will find the perspective of all involved stakeholders. It's no-nonsense, fact driven news that doesn't waste my time.
You mentioned you want an "European news service". Kagi is located in the US, but most of the news sources they use for the "Europe" category are European. But if you're missing any you can always add them with a PR :)
It's quite a new service (still in Beta) and since it uses an AI summarizer, you should always stay critical and double check the sources. I'm using it since a few months now and I always checked with other sources to see if it gets the things right. It's doing a pretty good job and made a lot of progress.
I basically use it when commuting to see whats new in the world. The once-a-day approach keeps it at a healthy amount. When a specific topic really interests me, I dive deeper and also look for other sources.
