I wasn’t sure whether to post this or ask an admin directly, but I then thought it might be worth asking this openly and seeing what other people think, or if other people can fill in gaps in my knowledge.

I’ve been seeing an increase of communities that are local to this instance but don’t have anything to do with the UK directly. The latest one I’ve seen is a community for posts relating to the US Green Party.

I’ve still not got my head around this federation malarkey, but I’d assumed local communities should somehow relate to the instance? Or does it not matter in the slightest? Is there a potential financial penalty due to the increased traffic?

    I’ve said this elsewhere, but there’s something off about that account that I can’t put my finger on. Like, what kind of Trump supporter opens up a socialism community on a UK focused forum?

      Dunno, maybe they’re worried about hosting it in a country hostile to socialism?

      Edit: sorry, only just got what you meant. Trump supporters don’t normally go hand in hand with caring about the environment and socialism.
