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 wonder how hard it would be for Lemmy devs to put in an aliasing feature, say so when a user goes to c/politics, it’ll automatically switch to c/uspolitics or something like that… That would make this easier.

        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?
