Concerning feddit.nl, I can confirm it was set up at the beginning of June. Since it's my instance ๐Ÿ˜…

I have to ask: why so many European country specific feddit instances?

  • more instances are better from a federation point of view
  • might have to do with that almost every country had their own language and culture
[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Why not? To discuss stuff in the local language and discuss local news obviously. A local instance makes sense for that. Also allows you to place the server close by the country so that you get low latency.

Why ? Don't you geddit ? :) (Guess cause languages and dialects)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

We have more cultures, languages, and national identities clustered in Europe than anywhere else in the world. Naturally people want an instance for their own.

Oh, right, I misread the registration date, plus you obviously know more about it than me ๐Ÿ˜
