    Counterpoint: I rarely see non-US news posted. I do from time to time here on Lemmy, but it’s very rare.

    I might just be in the wrong communities though.

      That’s because most of the world countries keep internal news, internal, but you’re right tho, not enough representation makes people think like that

        I do lean moee towards us defaultism being the case as other country news does get posted but has zero to none interaction because the us posts threads are getting so much more activity.

          Outside Lemmy I use Apple News and what I kind of hate about it is even while traveling abroad you’re stuck with US news. I have both English and Spanish languages set up on iOS so being in a Spanish-speaking country, it would be nice to see local news in either language.

            Wish we had Apple News :(

            I generally avoid news of late of any kind as its just so bloated and every once a week or so just visit one of my local sites for a quick scroll.

      The community news@lemmy.world used to have it in their rules, that it must be US news, same as on the old site. I just looked, and it’s no longer a rule on lemmy.world
