I wouldn't consider US politics a small topic, especially on Lemmy

It's not a small topic, it's a small community to set up all these tiny communities.

Community is what we called subs on the other site.

How are political communities tiny when they are 2 of the 6 most active communities on Lemmy?

To be honest, the issue is mostly about !politics@lemmy.world banning self posts (and thus people having to find alternatives such as !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world ) rather than the mods of !asklemmy@lemmy.world

Seriously? Political questions, political related questions, and international related questions.

The one you listed is for essentially for posting articles.
