This hinges on assumptions of discoverability that is not at all shared across other fediverse platforms. IMO this feels very jumping the gun - another way to bring up the Politics comm to greater attention (this so-called discoverability) is to actually participate in it.

Note how I don't have an issue seeing the instance origin:

You guys who are only coming into this via Lemmy are repeating the same myopic mistake of the microbloggers who only know "Mastodon". There are literally other ways ppl are finding each comms/magazines (in kbin parlance). LEMMY != the fediverse or even the reddit analogue part of the fediverse. kbin.social alone isn't just a joke instance.

I'm begging you all, please don't be so jumping the gun and look around.

Perhaps using the word "fediverse" doesn't seems justifiable, so let just keep the conversation down to Lemmy alone and reiterate my point.

Yes, the purpose is to make it so anyone using Lemmy App is able to distinguish this community instantly instead of having to rely on the knowledge of an inside joke from Reddit. As i said, some app will not have this problem(like jerboa and in some way, thunder and sync), but for other app(like connect) it will be indistinguishable from any other politic sub from another country, this move is to address that.

As for the Reddit inside joke i mentioned, "Monyet" isn't a term commonly associated with Malaysian. Back in r/malaysia, occasionally someone will ask why they were referred as monyet. The term is only widely used in r/malaysia as far as i can tell. Monyet.cc also doesn't immediately identify which country this instance is from(Malaysia or Indonesia? What is cc?), unlike feddit.uk(UK), aussie.zone(Aussie), lemmy.ca(Canada).

another way to bring up the Politics comm to greater attention (this so-called discoverability) is to actually participate in it.

If by participate you mean 4 post max per person per day limit for a community mostly about posting news and not covering the most important day of politic: election, i don't see any interest in participation happening.

Maybe this community will fall, maybe it will not, i don't know, i don't really mind. My purpose is not to compete with the other community but to add more to Lemmy, i think we both can coexist serving different part of it. Subscribe to both is a better option if your concern is the difference in content.

Ok lah, since I mostly browse non-monyet stuff via kbin clearly no point also to continue, since you only think Lemmy is the only fedi software worth thinking about.

I'm sorry for you to think that way, i did not force my view to anyone nor force anyone to participate, and that wasn't my point anyway.
