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.

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.

The good news is that if lemmy.world becomes that, you can go to another lemmy instance that might not be

the bad news is that lemmy.world is federated with everyone, so its likely i’m going to see the same America-centric content as soon as I change my food to “Subscribed” or “All”.

Is it possible to block an entire instance from your feed? Or would I need to go to one that isnt federated with lemmy.world instead?

The Connect app for Android lets you block instances. Not sure about others or the default web site.

Not if you move to a kbin, we can block entire domain names ourselves.

Not yet.

Beehaw doesn’t federate with .world. I’m starting to think they have a point.

what is “annoying niche subreddits communities”. are people not allowed to fill niches?

“Shit I Said on Reddit”, “Speed of Lobsters” and “ComedyNecrophelia” are so singular to Reddit that it makes no sense to bring them here

Or, if people want to make and participate them, they can do that, and if you don’t like them, you can block them.

What gives you the right to decide what everyone else gets to do?

I liked comedynecrophilia and their variants, how is that specific to reddit? its literally not. it’s just painfully unfunny stuff that is so unfunny that it is funny. just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean others shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy it.
