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!
What's the US one?
Sometimes it feels like .world is
midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.
I found just one Japanese instance. It is unfortunate that Lemmy is not well-known in Japan.
If there are so many, why do I only see Feddit.de when I browse All?
Feddit.org. Feddit.de has been dead for months
feddit.uk represent! Best inna worl'! Oo are ya, oo are ya? Come an' 'ave a go if you think yer'ardinuff!
And so forth, I'm sure you get the general gist.
seriously speaking, how much work is to host an instance actually? Besides buying the domain and getting it up and running on some cloud/homelab? The are any security concerns or maintenance that would take a lot of my time? Do I need to put some effort in instance level moderation, or that comes from communities? How many resources/hardware an instance uses per user?
Kinda proud for our Turkish fellows keeping that instance running ✌️
Would be kinda cool to have some more African and south+east Asian instances. I would happily donate to help get some instances hosted in poorer countries.
What is the Portugal one?
lemmy.pt
Looks like I will have to make an updated post with more detail after hearing all the feedback!
There used to be Lemmy Indonesia as well. Just like almost all Indonesian fediverse instance, all of them are dead (except Misskey and that new Mastodon instance barren of any user).
No Greece? Also no India, Indonesia and Japan? Damn that's unexpected.
Which country is Block Island south of Hawaii?
I’m pretty sure that’s French Polynesia
