Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I think international users are just less likely to post local stuff outside of designated communities, because even if there are more international users then they know, 99% will not care about their local issue. For example a swede is less likely to share swedish news and meme, because it is either inaccessible or irrelevant for non swedes, whether they are American or not. But english speaking content is likely to be accessible to most non swedes and swedes.
Americans however mostly don't share this consideration and just post America specific stuff everywhere.
