Or don't post US-centric stuff in global communities.
Dude I'm also not american and hate US-defaultism, but ask* comms are for asking questions and that's it. I think that trying to fragment down communities by topic works on forums but on "aggregator" platforms like reddit/lemmy/piefed etc. it just kills participation by splitting users and votes. This was also very true with subreddits - especially in non-english ones. Having your post removed because "you're not allowed to talk about in /r/germany or whatever, you need to go to the subsubcommunity for that" just sucks
