It annoyed me on reddit as well.
"R/collapse" is just about us collapse, for example

MODERATORS
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.
There is a world politics as well as other regional politics communities on our side bar. We suggest subscribing to one of those if your more interested in those arenas of political discussion.
I agree. US is not the only country in the world, and should not dictate a community like this. If Americans want to discuss politics they should make a com about that, and let the general /c/politics be international politics.
You can't even join a different instance to avoid to influx of annoying Redditors polluting the quality of content.
Reddit formed bad online habits in people that DONT need to be brought here. I like it here, but I like it because it's NOT REDDIT

They could change it so it's only news about world superpowers. Results would be the same though.
