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.

    True, the biggest factor is language, a Lemmy in Arabic or Chinese would be completely. An analogous example is comparing YouTube to Bilibili (Chinese YouTube), two different worlds and I’ve only found one “YouTube like” reaction channel on BiliBili.
