It's weird that there isn't a US-specific Lemmy instance

Literally the first sentence in their sidebar says "Deutschsprachige Lemmy Community" (= German-language Lemmy Community). So you're right that feddit.de is not about Germany but German is spoken in several European countries, so you do disrespect the intend of feddit.de by hosting an English community there.
They also write in their rules that it's okay to create English speaking communities. So no harm done.
I did not write that you broke a rule because there is no such rule but the intend of feddit.de is spelled out in the first sentence. Just as Lemmy.WORLD intends to be a worldwide community ("Lemmy.world is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use."), there is no rule that forbids /c/politics not being about US politics only.
