suggest notes based on contributor's home region #429
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, the ‘Needs your help’ feed is full of notes that give context on topics I am completely unaware of. When someone registers for the Community Notes feature, the only option is to receive notes based on language.
However, it would be much more useful if notes were suggested to contributors based on their location.
Describe the solution you'd like
‘Need your help’ and ‘New’ note suggestions should be based on the contributor’s home region, not just their selected language. This way, notes in that region could receive the necessary votes to reach ‘helpful’ or ‘not helpful’ status more quickly.
Additional context
I’m from Hungary, but the suggestions always come from the US or India — rarely from Europe. There hasn’t been a single case where the system suggested a Hungarian note, even though I’ve set both English and Hungarian as my preferred languages.
As a note writer, this is very frustrating, because not a single note I’ve written on local posts has reached ‘helpful’ or ‘not helpful’ status. Only 3 out of 50 notes have reached that status, and those were on US-based posts.
That’s why I had to create a Reddit forum where I collect these note suggestions, with the sole purpose that someone from the same region will find them and rate them. you can check it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cnhungary/
also created an X community where I started to collect those posts which are Hungarian related: https://x.com/i/communities/1993817968040374373
But I guess with this feature these forums would not be necessary.
I support this idea, as I have experienced the same issue. It would be very helpful to have a feature that allows users to choose which regions or countries they want to receive CN Rating and related notifications for.

"Yeah, that's good feedback, thank you. One reason those notes feel irrelevant sometimes is that we use "needs your help" (NYH) as a way to get more randomly-sampled ratings as an anti-manipulation mechanism (we want to get ratings from people who wouldn't have otherwise seen the note). But point heard loud and clear that you want more relevant NYH! Will see how to make it more relevant while also preserving the anti-manipulation benefits." https://x.com/jaybaxter/status/2101072325332632059
