It's almost like you can sign up without being from Canada

But nothing would be relevant.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, that's because it's in Canada. Nothing relevant ever comes from there except Celine Dion and maple syrup.

Legit though, are you under the assumption that the instance only allows Canadian related communities? There's all kinds of C/s on there that aren't about Canada. And that doesn't matter with lemmy (much) in the first place. It only matters if you exclusively want to use the local feed. Your subscriptions feed doesn't have to be from that instance, and the all feed gives you access to anything anyone there has access to. As soon as you search for a community, the whole instance gets access to it via federation. I figure you're joking, but just in case you weren't, what instance you're from doesn't limit your feeds to a significant degree (usually).

I wasn't joking, but I didn't want to feel like I was intruding as a stupid American.

I mean a USA American, the stereotypical jingo.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dig that for sure!

Afaik, they don't mind at all. I know there's a ton of American users there as it is, so if they mind, they're not minding out loud lol

[–] favrion@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My final decision is no. I'll stay out of their business.
