I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.

Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.

    Really wish fediverse didn’t also port the “first one to win the race to a keyword gets to have it” from reddit!

    Although if you went world politics in a single subreddit, I can only imagine people would just fight about what really deserved to be in their imaginary “left/right” divisions.

      It is going to take some getting used to, but the honest answer is to run your own instance and host your version on that. Gonna get real weird though.
