0.19.4 had worse issues, basically reposts wouldn’t work. Thankfully 0.19.5 came out soon later and corrected that.

Anyway if you see that there’s enough demand for it (I haven’t looked myself) then that sounds great!:-)

Open !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world and behold the 20 questions asked regarding US politics

They were waiting for 0.19.6 due to some issues in 0.19.5, hopefully now they’ll upgrade

Very interesting

I’m half thinking about creating AskUSA on lemmy.today just to centralize the US discussions somewhere 😅

Indeed

Hopefully this allows smaller instances to catch-up with LW

💯

Out of the top 20, there is Midwest.social and Lemmy.today but they are quite small (326 and 201 monthly active users).

Indeed, but an American admin team could still manage an instance hosted elsewhere.

As a major example that comes to mind, all of the technology communities

I’ve blocked most of them a while ago. Still seems strange that there is no AI enthusiast community somewhere, that should definitely exist

In the current context, seems like !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world is the way to go

Unrelated question: new instance, is it yours?

The instance bans seem to happen quite often https://lemmy.world/post/16211417

Lemmy admins can already see who downvotes what, I’m sure they already ban accounts who systematically downvote their communities content

It’s a tool. If some admins power trip, well report them on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Maybe that’s another reason why folks thing it’s US-based - because the magazines are clearly so US oriented. But I’m not sure how that happened.

Probably people creating the community soon after the instance creation

With a tld ending like .world you’d think it’s for the whole world, not just europe (.eu) or a specific country.

Indeed. It always surprises me that !politics@lemmy.world is specifically US-only. Why not !uspolitics@lemmy.world?
