It is a good place, but it does not necessarily have a lot of good people. We also have quite some ignorants, similar to the 'Murican ones. Another thing is that Portuguese is not very easy to learn or pronounce, especially the more neutral accent (the pseudo-Lisbon one). My suggestion is to pick a place you'd like to visit, and specialize your information, for that area. Anyway, good luck!

My country (Portugal) is a quite good place, but please don't buy or rent any overpriced house, because that makes it too expensive for the poorest citizens (minimum salary is less than 900 euros per month).

A fine point, but Lemmy.ca is geared towards Canadians, not exclusive to them.

Fair enough, but I am from Portugal, so I do feel the issue.

Russian spies are perfect agents of disaster. Remember how the KGB secretly funded the first neo-nazi party in West Germany after WWII, to decredibize, and destabilize the western world? They're still doing it.

Same situation, here in Europe - the most beneficial situation would be to have a bigger partnership between the EU and Canada! Only then, we could face Trump, Putin, and other dictators.

Yay! But also consider coming to the EU; we are also in need of good doctors!

There's Mojeek: mojeek.com

Mojeek is also a very good alternative, from the UK 🇬🇧 - however, it is keyword based, so there's that.
