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!
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.
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/
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?"
Probably the latter.
It's not a bad idea with the push to end sectoon 230 by Chuck Schumer on behalf of the entertainment industry. Copyright trolls would come crawling out of the woodwork and sue the owner. Meta would weaponize it by intentionally posting infringing and other illegal content in order to shut down competition.
Iirc there's one vietnamese guy on here that does tech related stuff
There was a Vietnamese instance for a short while, but it seems like they got scared off with how restrictive their governments internet policy is.
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.
But isnt it not hosted in the US?
Ah, that makes sense from the name.
Feddit.ro exists, i think
Quite surprised to see Ukraine doesn't have its own instance
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.
Well I guess this is only the domain and their server us hosted elsewhere. But good point.
True, but it still gives the Malian government an ultimate authority over the domain, which just seems completely dumb to me. The also-semi-failed Libya has ultimate authority over ly domains (like bit.ly) and has actually used its power to shut down domains for being against Libyan law. Domain hacks are not just ugly, they're dumb.
My instance is Slovenian, you can add it to the list
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.
It’s on the website now.
Wow, not sure if you did something or it was there all along... But I used to search for it by language. And the language is not there anymore :D
But seriously, thank you.
No Greece? Also no India, Indonesia and Japan? Damn that's unexpected.
There is (was?) an Indian one... but run by hindutva (extreme right-wing) nationalists, so I think we can skip that one.
There is also one that is located in Japan, but no idea if it can be described as an instance for Japan.
The is a Greek sub, with a few news posts daily, but noone is really commenting yet.
I had left the Greek sub on Reddit a few years back because the mods were assholes, so I don't really miss a Greek sub to be honest.
Which one is the Greek community? Those that I found are dead.
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
Huh, that exists? I thought no one in SK would care enough to host a lemmy instance.
