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!

Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:

I am actually surprised they got that on the first place. That's a very major domain name to have...

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It looks like the major city names (and maybe others) are registered by the government and allow people to register subdomains.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

You have to apply for a trademark to use the name.ua domain.

The admin is still figuring things out 🀣

[–] kernelle@0d.gs 43 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like we’re going to use your instance as a neutral meeting place for all the EU instance admins.

[–] kernelle@0d.gs 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

A long held tradition by my countrymen! Rejoice!

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?"

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 1 year ago

Probably the latter.

Strange that Spain and Norway don't have its own instance. Big countries

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Norway only has a population of 5.5million. The area is relativly big though.

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?

[–] Tiger@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

Chinese gotta use state-approved and controlled mainstream apps and media, or access foreign stuff via VPN. Homegrown, off the grid stuff like Lemmy only gets by as long as it’s obscure.

If it’s big enough and ornery (includes political content, rather than say just all cooking recipes and form) it’s liable to be blocked.

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.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oooh nice we got Luxembourg covered like sopuli.xyz!

Another cool fact about db0 ;)

I'm in the process of setting one up for Iceland, feddit.is. Mostly there, just some final touches.

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.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s on the website now.

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/

Hey. Cant believe my country is in there. Never knew that. Wonder what is the instance name.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] 3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lol. No worries. I prefer to keep it down low where i live. I found it anyway. Pretty easy to find it. Thanks!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 20 points 1 year ago

Ah. Australian. ;)

Jlai.lu is more a francophone than strictly French instance, even if as far as I know most admins are French.
