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.

      That should be up to only the mods or the admins. And I’m definitely not a big fan of forcing admins to change community names because you disagree with a name that is arguable not incorrect.

      It’s a relic from Reddit. There r/Politics was US-Only too. It was always weird
