Lemmy.world is hosted in the USA? I wonder how long til it gets raided by the feds

I think that is an artifact of their Cloudflare use. The main server is AFAIK in a Hetzner data center in Helsinki, Finland.

Why would it be raided by the feds?

Lemmy.ml doesn't take new registrations... Unless that changed

Seems like it did change

Of course it's the one instance where I accidentally capitalized my username and can't change it to a lower case letter.

Wait, lemmy.ml is French ?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

No, they are just hosted in the OVH data center in France.

The .ml is the country extension for Mali, which was colonized (read that how you want) by France along with other regions of Africa. Just recently French troops left Mali after a nine year military operation to fight Islamic militants.

Pretty impressive! Wonder where kbin instances fit in those stats.
