I thought the instance name was just a name and had no meaning in that way (being international or smth) About posting about other countries ..yeah O agree that is US centric but Lemmy is a niche..way smaller than reddit is (at least in my country) so is already hard to find people from other places and specially writing about things not US related. I don't mind if this community is all about US ..when people from other places start creating their own politics communities I'll just join them.

MODERATORS
You can't even join a different instance to avoid to influx of annoying Redditors polluting the quality of content.
Reddit formed bad online habits in people that DONT need to be brought here. I like it here, but I like it because it's NOT REDDIT

They could change it so it's only news about world superpowers. Results would be the same though.
If Lemmy.World just becomes Reddit 2.0, with shitty mods and annoying niche ~~subreddits~~ communities, I'm going to hate Lemmy just as much.
