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!
do these lemmy instances also generally get hosted in that country, to keep latencies low for population in those countries? needn't be i guess, but wonder if it is a prevalent pattern
Would be kinda cool to have some more African and south+east Asian instances. I would happily donate to help get some instances hosted in poorer countries.
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
I never knew one existed there 😯
Tbh, I'd prefer a list.
Here are the European ones (partly nicked from @[email protected]'s list on Reddit:
Others that have come up in the discussion here OT elsewhere:
Defunct:
https://lemuria.es/ still has a Lemmy instance running, if any Spaniards are enthusatic, they could try emailing the @admin, @contact, etc addresses and see if the owner will transfer it over to you. I'm sure we can rummage up enough help to get it back up and running if you get control.
@[email protected] @[email protected] did I miss any?
Your list is pretty comprehensive!
You could add:
https://lemmy.world/ to 🇳🇱
Maybe https://slrpnk.net/ to 🇵🇹 as that’s where they’re hosted.
Also you can add the Lechestein flag 🇱🇮to Feddit.org as they’re German speaking.
I found just one Japanese instance. It is unfortunate that Lemmy is not well-known in Japan.
I'm in the process of setting one up for Iceland, feddit.is. Mostly there, just some final touches.
Bangladesh has one busdyverse.one by ml
you know any other ones?
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?"
If there are so many, why do I only see Feddit.de when I browse All?
Feddit.org. Feddit.de has been dead for months
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 we’re going to use your instance as a neutral meeting place for all the EU instance admins.
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/
Strange that Spain and Norway don't have its own instance. Big countries
What is the Portugal one?
lemmy.pt
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.
Hey, where's Norway? And Iceland?
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 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?
My instance is Slovenian, you can add it to the list
