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.
I think it was about 47% but it was a relative majority, or a plurality as Americans call it.

Those silly Americans, using words in line with their definitions
Huh? Everyone uses words in line with their definitions. But New Zealand English and American English have differences.
“Plurality” isn’t used in NZ English, but since there are a lot of Americans here I added it as a courtesy to make my meaning clearer.
Coming from a minority country this is just something we do.
If I were commenting about, say, what we normally call “lollies”, on a predominantly British website I would add “sweets” and on a predominantly American website I would add “candy”.
