To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time πŸ™ƒ)

I got the opposite idea. I think this place is much less US-centric than Reddit. And actually, if you look at the servers' location, there's way more in Europe than in America. So it would be fair to assume that many users would pick a server near their location and thus be from Europe rather than America.

I just looked at All, and at least half of the post I see are specifically about US politics/news. It's strange, because (like you said) I don't think any of the big servers are from the US.

Huh. Different instances, I guess. I generally don't browse by all, but on my feed most news were non-US (mostly Europe although quite a few about Asia as well). But then again my instance is pretty tiny and definitely isn't federated with most large communities, so my perspective might be skewed.

To get a better view of the general content on Lemmy maybe we should look at the all feeds of lemm.ee or lemmy.world which, now that I look at them, are indeed quite US centric. So I guess it was just my perspective.

I appreciate that there's users and news that's not US. People here need more perspective than mainstream America.
