Most of the posts that are frequently featured in the homepage are about social problems or styles of life common to that country (or most first world countries), and even limit to only United-Statesian media discussion. They do not appeal to someone like me, who has different thoughts, different people, different problems. It’s hard to find something relatable in (most) non-local communities, because it’s just about this style of culture. It doesn’t helps with the poor website discorverability, making me limited to these same repetitive and unfunny posts.

    Really? Did I miss that in the rules some where?

    “Be the change you want to see”.

    Funny, the top posts in the Scotland community are about Scotland, because the bulk of people posting there are interested in posting about Scotland.

    What you’re acknowledging is that the largest plurality of posters on Lemmy post things about the US. That’s all.

    You’re also functioning from an external locus of control rather than an internal locus of control. That leads to nowhere but dissatisfaction.

    All that said, I’d like to see a greater variety of posts, but it is what it is, and I’m uninterested in putting forth the effort to gather interesting stories from around the world.

      I am not asking people to pick up stories from around the world. I’m tired of the lack of interest about other places, and how they make the entire world revolve about US problems.
