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 never knew one existed there π―
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.
You have to apply for a trademark to use the name.ua domain.
The admin is still figuring things out π€£
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 weβre going to use your instance as a neutral meeting place for all the EU instance admins.
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.
Actually in Spain there are a Catalan and a Basque instances. Go represent this on your map :)
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.
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?
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 itβs obscure.
If itβs big enough and ornery (includes political content, rather than say just all cooking recipes and form) itβs 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.
Oooh nice we got Luxembourg covered like sopuli.xyz!
Another cool fact about db0 ;)
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.
I'm in the process of setting one up for Iceland, feddit.is. Mostly there, just some final touches.
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 π
@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/
Hey. Cant believe my country is in there. Never knew that. Wonder what is the instance name.
Lol. No worries. I prefer to keep it down low where i live. I found it anyway. Pretty easy to find it. Thanks!
I prefer to keep it down low where i live
Ah. Australian. ;)
Staying private is understandable.
Jlai.lu is more a francophone than strictly French instance, even if as far as I know most admins are French.
