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 point of suggesting this was to make the process of renaming the communities a little easier. Users do have to be led around by the nose, don’t they?

If you’re talking about me here, I understood why you were suggesting it. But to me, that’s not the problem of c/politics in this case. They wouldn’t want to rename, if it was possible, because “AmErIcA fIrSt”.
