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.

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.
