I'm not sure what the exact solutions are, I just know there is a problem of cultural dominance. Perhaps a slightly increased standard for international relevance wouldn't be entirely unreasonable? There are sometimes intranational political developments of interest to the rest of the world, but if we're just letting popular vote decide what subscribers see without moderation, then based on initial observation, non-USians will just have to move to more regionally specific communities/instances or consent to cultural assimilation.
Most new post here have been posted by @silence7, who is clearly an American. One user, means the post will be one sided. Thats not @silence7 fault obviously.
i understand the sentiment of these posts and i agree with that sentiment, but i also dont understand them. the reason usa-centered stuff is posted is because americans post them. people from outside the usa need to post about their countries too, if they want it to be less usa focused, the posts won't just spawn out of nowhere. saying this won't make them spawn out of nowhere, it wont thanos snap the americans on the fediverse out of existence. be the change you want to see.
Well here "El nino" is being a prick and doing a lot of damages. We already had one torrential rain and there is another one to come today or tomorrow(if the forecast is correct)
Translating tools are good enough these days to be able to convey the gist of an article. On reddit it was in some places common to post articles in a foreign language, with the title of the post being the title of the article translated to english, and a summary in the post/comments. But even without the summary, I think it wouldn't be too much of a hassle for someone who's interested in the article to just put it through deepl or google translate or something.
Never understand these takes... Lemmy is a spin off of an incredibly us-dominant userbase so it follows that most of the users are American, who are going to post American things. If you want to see less us things, post more non us things, or make a community about your region. Makes no sense to punish the majority for the minority.
Of course lmao. Americans get bashed for posting American things which is ridiculous. How are we supposed to have a take on how climate policies are doing in Scarborough?
Well if you want to keep a community global you have to find people from around the globe to contribute to it. And maybe don't try to dictate to a community what they should of should not be doing
(Non American by the way, not that it should matter)
Be the change you want to see. Things don't just magically appear on the forum, people just like you have to post them. And if you can't be arsed to do that, then be thankful for what others are willing to provide to you for free.
If I submit a dozen links per day pertaining to various details about a single game to a general gaming sub, you don't think people would find that kind of annoying? Or what if a TV sub was constantly flooded by a large minority talking about some particular show they're all watching. Maybe USians could have their own climate news sub.
