I hate this so much. To be honest, Lemmy also has this problem to a lesser degree, but I hope that it will get better once we add improved support for other languages, and once other instances start to grow.
as a US citizen it was one of the first things I noticed on the Mastodon, how non us centric it was. It was refreshing. I remember a lot of cool accounts on my old profile from Radical Town. I think you may have actually been one of the mods there.
Not a mod but I used to be pretty active there. And I would say that English language Mastodon is also often very US centric.
Sadly, almost anything English is US centric
It has started to become a problem, my friend. Have a look https://lemmy.ml/post/59024
