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!
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
What’s the French one?
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.
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.
I’m in the process of setting one up for Iceland, feddit.is. Mostly there, just some final touches.
I’m in and I love the theme! The little island will be more self-sufficient thanks to you! Lets hop into a hot spring some time!
Thanks! Set the Icelandic blue color as the primary color, think it looks pretty nice.
Works well.
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/
Por qué no sale Mujico!? Claramente esto tiene que ser un error!

Ah… bueno… por eso…
Ukraine has an instance: https://feddit.kyiv.ua/
The domain has expiried.
I am actually surprised they got that on the first place. That’s a very major domain name to have…
It looks like the major city names (and maybe others) are registered by the government and allow people to register subdomains.
You have to apply for a trademark to use the name.ua domain.
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.
A long held tradition by my countrymen! Rejoice!
until we all start a major global conflict by invading you. also tradition
Preposterous, I will discuss this with my 18 political parties and come back to you within 200 days.

need a bangladeshi instance
Got it: https://buddyverse.one/
@[email protected] @[email protected] did I miss any?
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.Well I guess this is only the domain and their server us hosted elsewhere. But good point.
ml represents all dictatorships…
Dictatorship of the proletariat, sure. But not for long IMO.
Guten Tagaber dieses Mal mache ich eine Ausnahme. ♥️
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?
If you don’t want to spend too much time with moderation, you will have to manually approve registrations, simply to avoid spam. Sure, that increases the workload slightly, as you’re gonna have to go through applications let’s say once a week, but you don’t have to monitor the instance 24/7. I would still recommend checking reports once in a while, just to be on the safe side. But definitely make sure to deploy @[email protected]’s fedi-safety to prevent CSAM from being uploaded on your instance.

What’s the US one?
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.
