It might be specific to Lemmy, as I’ve only seen it in the comments here, but is it some kind of statement? It can’t possibly be easier than just writing “th”? And in many comments I see “th” and “þ” being used interchangeably.

European how? IIRC it’s one sign, one sound.
As in strongly focused in Europe. Some of the most well-known criticism of IPA are that it does not properly help reflect the phonetics of languages present in the Americas, Africa or Asia. Ya know, continents that are not Europe. Heck a good meme among the know-who could be to call the IPA as A, as it’s not International and not Phonetic.
Then maybe the solution is to expand the IPA to include all those sounds.
Edit: I just checked the WP page and it seems it has a way to be expanded and has been modified many times.
