Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?

Rarely I see a French post so I have a look but it’s usually random news. French memes are so boring, half of them are about bakery and stuff.

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

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).
Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 10 hours ago
I’ve done the same with anything sports. if it’s sports related, it’s blocked and the one who posted it blocked as well. I want nothing to do with it.
starting to also consider anything us related too.
other languages are fine for me, I just skip past em.
angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 48 seconds ago
You were getting sports?
It’s not even that I really want sports as much as that I get nothing but tech, politics, Star Trek, and memes on here unless I search for it and even then it’s not a lot.

You can also filter out keywords like Trump, Elon, GOP, etc. Generally this excludes shit from their little tribal conflict but retains post that could be of interest.

Sorry, I don’t go to feddit.org due to their censorship of Israel-critical posts. Due to moral reasons I cannot accept (though I understand) this despite being a legal requirement.

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'm not European but I am Canadian and I don't know if Americans realise how annoying it is that any general community like "politics" or "news" is specifically American as per the rules. I was really hoping we'd leave the US defaultism behind on Reddit
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 7 hours ago
It is so annoying and it’s my biggest complaint about Lemmy. Every dang thread, the comment section is usually filled with US politics discussion even if it’s a completely unrelated topic.
Serinus@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I wonder if people complained about the German defaultism in 1911 or 1936.
fushuan@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 hours ago
Tell that to all the non US specific named communities created on LW, that are actually US specific according to rules.
Politics, news... All those communities are actually US specific, while having a nonUS name and being hosted on Europe. It irritates me.
shalafi@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Let’s not bring the Netherlands into this. I can get the gist from English or German, but Dutch is right out. Weirdos.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
I think they talk about the USA even more over on ML tbh, but with a difference in connotations.
commiunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 hours ago
Yup, though I lowkey prefer it because EU posts tend to attract more Hitlerite takes and comments. There’s just something about other Europeans that make them have an elevated level of nationalism

Nah, Piefed filters are great.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
there’s two things I hate. People who are intolerant to other federated instances, and piefed users.
don’t worry, every piefed user will let you know they use piefed. they’re the “arch users” of federated social media.

piefood@feddit.online 3 hours ago
Agreed. When I tried Lemmy, it didn't have filters, so that was an immediate no for me. I just don't get the appeal of being fed a list, and not being able to filter out the noise.

The first line of the YouTube Wikipedia article is ‘YouTube is an American social media and online video sharing platform owned by Google.’

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.
