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

People don’t post or comment and wonder why there is no content relevant to themselves
It’s a mystery /s
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
We do, it is just that Americans flood even country-specific subs to make it about them.
We know your country sucks, you don’t have to remind us every time we open the internet.
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
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

C’est compréhensible et logique, bien sûr, mais <<américain/britannique>> est douloureux à voir en tant que Britannique.

Ashamed American here and I assume your comment was in French, and those are the only two things I have even the vaguest clue how to pronounce in French (but I had to look up the spelling!)
Funny enough, as you suggested, I popped your text into a translator after typing out the above and using my limited second language knowledge, and it turns out, I managed to get the general gist of it without the help of a translator!

Gute Idee. Machen was so.
Ich hatte einige Jahre Französisch und hab sogar ungefähr gecheckt was du meinst, geil.
AA5B@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Right. For example my browser did a perfectly cromulent job of translating what you just wrote into a language I can read …… unless you weren’t talking about a plot to take over the world

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.
Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I hear more news from the US than my own country. Granted, my own country’s politics are people respectfully discussing policy matters while US politics is like a circus and a pro wrestling league combined, with unimaginably high stakes.

Don’t ever look into Indian politics. It will fry your brain.
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
I seek out the non-US perspective. Sometimes you need someone else to show you that the Emperor has no clothes.
AA5B@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Or sometimes just to have a sane conversation.
Given practically any forward looking or quality of life topic: here it’s dominated by politics, illegal program cuts, incompetent leaders selected only for personal loyalty, breaking it for the sake of breaking it. Can’t we discuss things like adults?
Sarmyth@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.

Even as an American and as a supporter of the freedom of these federated model, I have to wonder if there should be a mandated taxonomy. I don’t want to restrict anyone’s freedom of expression, but I want there to be some basic organization such that I can be an informed consumer

am we doing this right?
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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

pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
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).

FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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

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.

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!
