Welcome to WIP! (World In Progress)
What we try to achieve
The goal is simple. We want to inspire people around the world through positivity, as it can be the best motivator. We want people to be happy about our world be celebrating the progress.
It’s the same old story; too many negative news because they “sell”. But we’ll do the opposite, and therefore negative posts are not allowed here and belongs to other communities.
What we don’t see fit for this community
This community is not just a ‘feel good’ community, like if you’re familiar with r/UpliftingNews. These are mostly personal stories, where person A selfishly helps person B in a single event. While this is very good and beautiful, it doesn’t qualify as world progress.
How we start
As a start I will post some news that belongs here, just for an example for new users who will find this community.
Hope you are interested!

No you where right, I looked a bit and also saw that that particular subject was already posted a lot, so I removed my post (:
Should have checked before posting.
oooh I like that
I just now signed up for a lemmy account and this is the first thing that I saw. Thank you!
Welcome aboard, my friend!
Instant sub from me the moment I saw your content in the feed. I sorely lacked this exact kind of information - good news but on a wider than personal scale.
Glad to hear it! Welcome aboard.
Communities like this one are more important than ever these days, as we drown in an increasingly unending torrent of bad news. It’s important to stay informed about world news of course, but that includes the good news as well. Thank you for creating another positive place on Lemmy. The more there are, the more we can counter the glorification of defeat that is becoming so prevalent in the news and social media.
Thanks! Means alot that you appreciate it.
