I think this would be a pain to moderate with terminally unfunny libs deliberately trying to get banned from c/Pyongyang.
There's not that many nk sites, a thread could accompish the same purpose. If it were a comm I'd suggest it be local only.
If they can have both Korean Peninsula and DPRK communities on lemmygrad.ml, I can't see why not in here
I would lurk the fuck out of this comm!
would you be interested in moderating it?
I could.
!pyongyang@hexbear.net when you make a post there let me know and I'll transfer the community to you
some example posts for the comm
DPRK troops marching in moscow.

These posts are examples of interesting things that I found on DPRK websites, interesting to me at least. The purpose of the comm is for users to post things from DPRK websites that are interesting to them. I think other users could find interesting things that I may have missed or not understood.
The DPRK website list has a broad range categories. There's a recipe website, an architecture website, an ebook website with juche theory books, an animation website with DPRK animated videos, and more.
Also, the korean language website of the websites sometimes have additional pages not available in the english version. You might have to use the browser translate function.
Who would post on this comm? I would. I've made tons of posts in the past linking to DPRK websites. Anyone else who browses DPRK websites is welcome to post the .kp links onto the comm as well.
Why does hexbear need another comm? Other comms allow western perspectives of DPRK to be posted. This comm would limited to posting the DPRK perspective. DPRK websites have articles about stuff happening in the DPRK, but also some of the website have commentary on international news. Rodong Sinmun has daily articles about stuff that the US does and the rest of the world.
Users would be welcome to comment whatever they like, but posts should be based on DPRK websites.
Additionally, DPRK has shown rapid development over the past couple years. On June 18 2024, DPRK signed a trade agreement with Russia, which I believe gave DPRK expanded access to new technologies.
This would make a great comm
Community and moderator requests and nominations for unmodded communities.
No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.
Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.
