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!

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

(/j)

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.

I feel pretty European when I wake up and see all the German stuff trending in the morning.

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?

all this US ~~garbage~~ rubbish!

bollocks.mpeg

makes a post complaining about US posts and ignores everything else going on in Europe

am we doing this right?

collapsed inline media

Yup

Some twat of a mod removed a news article, a very popular post which I linked, because "it's internal US news". It was literally from the national broadcasting company of Finland, talking about our national Moomin characters. But no.

Lemmy is filled with Russian pretending to be Americans/Canadians/whatever

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).

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

!europe@feddit.org

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.

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.

it's the USA shitting in its own pants

There's a beautiful sweet spot between the Americans going to bed and the Germans waking up where Its not US politics but I can still understand whats being said.

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

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!

I get the same feeling watching the Warner-Discovery owned Polish TV station "TVN".

Trump something something Washington
Bro who cares this is Europe?

Last phone booth removed in New York (a few years ago)
???

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
