Sometimes my feed is like half German memes

@Mika@sopuli.xyz !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world I'm Brazilian and oftentimes the "All" feed across the entire Lemmy ecosystem feels, in fact, like a smoothie mashup between European-specific political issues and USian-specific political issues, so, when it comes to the phenomenon that the European Fedizens feel on Lemmy, not only we feel the same, but we, Fedizens from the Global South, we feel it twice!

be the change you want to see in the .world

c’est parce que lemmy.world (et la plupart des instances) est anglophone, donc a un biais américain/britannique

moi je propose que tout le monde parle dans sa langue maternelle, pis de toute façon les logiciels de traduction sont rendus assez bon on va pouvoir se comprendre quand même

It’s also nice when they come into our country-specific subs to tell us how things are in the US, as we get so little news about the US.

"worldnews": American local news

It makes me laugh when Europeans makes these comments. If you want to see more European centric content... post it. Its free to do.

People write as though Americans need to stop interacting with the platform, when the solution is really to increase European engagement, which falls on them to do.

Anyone else outside US and Europe: do we exist?

Yup

I've blocked quite a few very popular communities because I don't understand their language. I'm guessing they're still popular? Europe as a whole, seems to be quite popular (or it was, I've blocked them).

I wish I was in Europe. Where I could pretend that news about our downfall was for a time at a distance and would never affect me.

Sort by new and you'll find it's a bunch of Germans too. Ich liebe meine deutschen Freunde der Nacht.

I would love to see less America doom and gloom on lemmy. Why should we be the center of everything? More European- and Canada-centric posts, please.

Well sure. But that’s also because everyone else learned how to use English to communicate. So it FEELS like we’re all American. It’s a common thing in online spaces.

Maar als we allemaal terug zouden gaan naar onze eigen taal, voelt het hier een stuk minder Amerikaans.

I’ve literally had lengthy English conversations with other Dutch people online where we only figured out we were both Dutch twenty comments later :D

it's the USA shitting in its own pants

Increase your population, elect the worst leaders, ditch universal healthcare and other social supports, and your country can contest the US in potential topics for the All feed!

Are there no other places than Europe or America?

Isn't LW Dutch?

And if we're just talking about All, mine seems to be predominantly porn and Germans

Which is frankly, a pretty European combo

Is EU not one of the distant states of USA?
