A ton of countries have a decently active Lemmy instance, including the English-speaking ones (UK, AUS, NZ, ZA).
The closest to a US one that I know of is midwest.social, which looks pretty lively from what I can tell.
Anyway, so lemmy.world is becoming quite populated with all kinds of US-specific stuff, like communities for sports teams, sometimes with generic names that could be used for other things ( [email protected] ), states/cities like [email protected] or even [email protected] (while [email protected] also exists), with other instances also having duplicate comms.
I’m expecting Lemmy to have, at some point, and hopefully soon, an option to block entire instances so that we don’t have to see posts especially that are country-specific. But I’ll need to block all the baseball teams one by one if I want to browse all and try to find new things.
And I’m sure it would also be more convenient to have it all under one roof, just like everything about Germany is under feddit.de, and people from elsewhere can still visit if they like.
So, please someone make one? Or navigate people to the right one? Thank yooou
They also write in their rules that it’s okay to create English speaking communities. So no harm done.
I did not write that you broke a rule because there is no such rule but the intend of feddit.de is spelled out in the first sentence. Just as Lemmy.WORLD intends to be a worldwide community (“Lemmy.world is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use.”), there is no rule that forbids /c/politics not being about US politics only.
