What news apps do you use in your country? (lemmy.world)

So recently I found out that google lens allows you to use a lens overlay to read news apps that are not in English. An example being "The Conversation" app.

I would like to trial it on other news apps from Europe and Asia. At the moment Australia's world news is focused on America and the wars. Nothing incredibly wrong about receiving this news beause it is a concerning and scary time. I just would feel more comfortable knowing I had other options to learn about current affairs and not have language to be a barrier to entry.

World news apps are fine but ideally ones without a paywall. I want to make a little list to look through. Thank you!

-Edit: Thank you to the few that noticed my horrible error in the title. In truth, this was fixed in an earlier earlier today but the voyager app struggled to process the change. I will be more diligent next time before sending posts.

I was like "well, i use Nekogram, which is a fork of Telegram, but what does it have to do with translating news? Oh.."

Yeah that's fair. However, I will still look into both of those messaging apps. Peaked my curiosity.

TG is just better than WA, and it's widely used by the crowd I'm talking to irl.
Nekogram just have a bit more options, but I got it because even wheb they don't have an option to not show a person altogether (because it's still using TG's API and there's just no such feature), but their comments will be covered with spoiler thing.
I was recommended Nekogram when I mentioned there are couple really active and annoying people in a community group I visit daily, and I just don't want to read through their bullshit.
