Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance

Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:

Guten Tag

Ukraine has an instance: https://feddit.kyiv.ua/

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.

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?"

Strange that Spain and Norway don't have its own instance. Big countries

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?

I'm based in Luxembourg, and so is Haidra. Therefore I think we have that covered, even if we're not specifically country-based.

Lemmy.eco.br representative here

Ironic how this doesn’t include communist countries.

I'm in the process of setting one up for Iceland, feddit.is. Mostly there, just some final touches.

My instance is Slovenian, you can add it to the list

Feddit.dk in the house 👋

@sortekanin@feddit.dk.

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.

https://lemmy.cat/ and https://lemmy.eus/ for Catalunya and Basque Country

Still would like to see a Spanish instance emerge

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.

Hello I live in the little gap there that is Belgium

Jlai.lu is more a francophone than strictly French instance, even if as far as I know most admins are French.

What's the US one?

¡Siempre hay un chileno!

(Curiosamente no tengo cuenta en la instancia de Chile. Debería arreglar eso.)

I found just one Japanese instance. It is unfortunate that Lemmy is not well-known in Japan.

If there are so many, why do I only see Feddit.de when I browse All?

Would lemm.ee count for Estonia?

Nah https://rekabu.ru/ is definitely hosted in Moscow.

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?

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.

No Greece? Also no India, Indonesia and Japan? Damn that's unexpected.

i can see my instance from here

Quite surprised to see Ukraine doesn't have its own instance

What is the Portugal one?

Kinda proud for our Turkish fellows keeping that instance running ✌️

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.

Ireland has an instance?

Looks like I will have to make an updated post with more detail after hearing all the feedback!

There used to be Lemmy Indonesia as well. Just like almost all Indonesian fediverse instance, all of them are dead (except Misskey and that new Mastodon instance barren of any user).

Tbh, I'd prefer a list.

Which country is Block Island south of Hawaii?

Is there a instance for Greenland or is it covered by the danish instance?

Bangladesh has one busdyverse.one by ml

Feddit.ro exists, i think

I'd love to get down to the city level, even

Wow, Africa's Fediverse game is weak.

not aware of turkish instance. what is it?

Russia and China not filled in

Lol

What's the French one?

The middle east is completely gray 🥲 (except Turkey but that instance is dead, I'm not even Turkish)

Damn Sunshine, you've been popping off on content. Formally, thank you 🙏

Hey, where's Norway? And Iceland?

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

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.

This is where the machine is hosted? I am thinking about the domain they used might be a different one. Example I would take where it is cheapest to host it.

you could categorize lemm.ee but it's a general instance so not really

I'm more interested in distribution of users and local-focus of communities than country-based instances, nevertheless the map does illustrate that Lemmy has huge gaps - no country instance in all of Africa, hardly any in Asia... What can we do to make it a more global conversation ?

I'm giving this a thumbs up xD

I've already blocked most of these because they all use Wingdings font

Did you mean…

the country club?
