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 thought the instance name was just a name and had no meaning in that way (being international or smth) About posting about other countries …yeah O agree that is US centric but Lemmy is a niche…way smaller than reddit is (at least in my country) so is already hard to find people from other places and specially writing about things not US related. I don’t mind if this community is all about US …when people from other places start creating their own politics communities I’ll just join them.
