It should be noted that Feddit.org was included to represent Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
I did not include Baraza.africa as that was too encompassing as it covers the whole African continent.
Hopefully this post inspires more countries to join the blue club!
do these lemmy instances also generally get hosted in that country, to keep latencies low for population in those countries? needn't be i guess, but wonder if it is a prevalent pattern
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
I never knew one existed there 😯
Ive searched everywhere for an Arab/middle eastern instance, and the only one I could find was a fucking Turkish one (that I think is dead too lmao). I'd do it my self but L + no money + too lazy
Hosting your own instance starts off with paying out of pocket then once you set up donations from the community those dollars would fund most of the operating costs. However as the instance gets larger the economies of scale improve and eventually you may have some money leftover to put aside. You could also sell merch of the logos like stickers to help with keeping the lights on.
A lemmy instance needs a domain name, a host and a smtp email for notifications.
I wonder what the Lemmy.world server operations are like.
Ukraine has an instance: https://feddit.kyiv.ua/
The domain has expiried.
I am actually surprised they got that on the first place. That's a very major domain name to have...
It looks like the major city names (and maybe others) are registered by the government and allow people to register subdomains.
As a Belgian running an instance:
Am I a joke to you?
I'm kidding ofcourse, and I'm not really representing my country, except for an aptly named community.
Looks like we’re going to use your instance as a neutral meeting place for all the EU instance admins.
Are we talking "nations that have an official Lemmy instance" or "nations in which some private citizen or resident just happens to host a Lemmy instance?"
Strange that Spain and Norway don't have its own instance. Big countries
Norway only has a population of 5.5million. The area is relativly big though.
This seems to be missing Mali, the home of .ml. It's in West Africa and since the French soldiers left it's been an authoritarian client state of Russia. Very appropriate.
I'm based in Luxembourg, and so is Haidra. Therefore I think we have that covered, even if we're not specifically country-based.
I'm surprised Lemmy apparently has had hardly any penetration into the Spanish-speaking world yet. Is there some other Reddit-like service that's popular with those folks?
Also a long those lines, I wonder what services the Indians and Chinese are using?
Can somebody also make join-lemmy.org notice that our instance exists? Can't get it listed, even though we comply with the requirements for a while now.
I'm in the process of setting one up for Iceland, feddit.is. Mostly there, just some final touches.
My instance is Slovenian, you can add it to the list
https://lemmy.cat/ and https://lemmy.eus/ for Catalunya and Basque Country
Still would like to see a Spanish instance emerge
Feddit.dk in the house 👋
@sortekanin@feddit.dk.
I swear Mujico (Mexico) was around for a bit. I wonder if it's still up.
Edit: It's still alive and kicking! https://mujico.org/
