Facebook News alternatives

It's a really solid concept, and there's a lot of potential here, but the onboarding flow is weak, forcing you to choose news outlets from a massive list that you are unable to breakdown into topics or subjects, many are political and sports and little are tech-focused. The platform also seems to be focused for the German market more than the english market right now, so there are many major publications that do not exist, and many of the topics are all filled with german news. There doesn't seem to be a way to filter this to only have english results across the board.
