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 see it as kind of a first generation migrant thing. Some people are bringing as much of their reddit culture with them as they can and trying to make it the same.
But we will grow and change and create our own stuff.
