    Trying to start an international community on a regional instance is an uphill battle, people will see the .ca domain and assume the community is focused on Canada.

      That’s fair! I am guilty of thinking that when I see certain instance names but I hope we can shake that habbit. After all, having everyone make alt accounts and relying on more generic-sounding instances for all communities is a bad idea. Lemmy.world already has too many hosted there.
