According to lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, lemmy.world isn’t even hosted in the US, but instead in Africa.

Fediverse Observer checks all sites in the fediverse and gives you an easy way to find a home from a map or list or automatically.

Why it’s hosted in Africa? First, it’s just the data reported on fediverse.observer. I am not totally sure it’s correct. But if it is, it’s probably to avoid regulation/legal issues.
