The “communities” don’t necessarily reflect the instances on which they are hosted. There might be a politics or news community on some other instance which you prefer.

I mainly switched off of .world because it was so heavily over-represented in the fediverse both in terms of communities and users. I was hoping to help distribute things more evenly which I think is more I. the spirit and intention of the fediverse.

And not sure why that other user deleted their comment, I was just trying to answer their question.
