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.

    In this case they did come first though! They registered the /c/politics community first.

    But really they should change the display name to US Politics.

      It doesn’t matter. The name is misleading. It’s a generic name and therefore should cover all politics. I’ve seen people claiming “ohh, but it’s only US mods”… Yes. I run a whole instance. Americans are welcome there, too and I’m from Germany. So?
