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.

      Yeah less than half, but still a bigger share than any other single culture, so that’s how they ended up being the dominant group on most subs.

      When r/politics was created, and for a vast majority of reddits existence, Americans made up a majority of reddit, and for a long time made up a supermajority.

      Of course there was a US-Bias.
