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!
seriously speaking, how much work is to host an instance actually? Besides buying the domain and getting it up and running on some cloud/homelab? The are any security concerns or maintenance that would take a lot of my time? Do I need to put some effort in instance level moderation, or that comes from communities? How many resources/hardware an instance uses per user?
I would also like to know this!
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?”
I mean in the post to represent official Lemmy instances.
Probably the latter.
feddit.uk represent! Best inna worl’! Oo are ya, oo are ya? Come an’ 'ave a go if you think yer’ardinuff!
And so forth, I’m sure you get the general gist.
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/
It’s not a bad idea with the push to end sectoon 230 by Chuck Schumer on behalf of the entertainment industry. Copyright trolls would come crawling out of the woodwork and sue the owner. Meta would weaponize it by intentionally posting infringing and other illegal content in order to shut down competition.
What’s the US one?
Sometimes it feels like .world is
midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.
But isnt it not hosted in the US?
Ah, that makes sense from the name.
Lemmy.world
Oh, I thought their server was located in a different country. It’s a bad idea to have a server in a location that the US government has authority over.
Lemmy.world is hosted in the Netherlands, if I’m not mistaken.
That’s what I thought. I don’t know if any big ones are hosted in the US.
Quite surprised to see Ukraine doesn’t have its own instance
Feddit.ro exists, i think
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.
It’s on the website now.
Wow, not sure if you did something or it was there all along… But I used to search for it by language. And the language is not there anymore :D
But seriously, thank you.
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
Huh, that exists? I thought no one in SK would care enough to host a lemmy instance.
I care enough to host one
I never knew one existed there 😯
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.
Interesting thank you. Personally I’m too westernized (not even western, just spend too much time around them lol) to run a whole instance for it, but I’ll keep an eye if someone ever creates one.
Hello I live in the little gap there that is Belgium
Just a speedbump for the
germanfediverse armyIn America we just call that French Germany
excuse me, we are also Dutch Germany
No Greece? Also no India, Indonesia and Japan? Damn that’s unexpected.
There is (was?) an Indian one… but run by hindutva (extreme right-wing) nationalists, so I think we can skip that one.
There is also one that is located in Japan, but no idea if it can be described as an instance for Japan.
The is a Greek sub, with a few news posts daily, but noone is really commenting yet.
I had left the Greek sub on Reddit a few years back because the mods were assholes, so I don’t really miss a Greek sub to be honest.
Which one is the Greek community? Those that I found are dead.
Guten Tag
aber dieses Mal mache ich eine Ausnahme. ♥️
Lemmy.eco.br representative here
Olá!!
