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

@[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.

need a bangladeshi instance
Got it: https://buddyverse.one/
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.
Bangladesh has one busdyverse.one by ml
you know any other ones?
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.
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.
Hey, where’s Norway? And Iceland?
Russia and China not filled in
Lol
I found just one Japanese instance. It is unfortunate that Lemmy is not well-known in Japan.
Damn Sunshine, you’ve been popping off on content. Formally, thank you 🙏
I’m based in Luxembourg, and so I Haidra. Therefore I think we have that covered, even if we’re not specifically country-based.
Damn, I thought dbzer0 was greek. Cheers eitherway.
I am personally Greek, but I’m based in Luxembourg.
Oooh nice we got Luxembourg covered like sopuli.xyz!
Another cool fact about db0 ;)
Let’s put [email protected] in lemmy.dbzer0.com 😁
But they’re landlubbers!
Luxembourg is landlocked, it’s not their fault.
But we have the Uewersauer lake!
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
I never knew one existed there 😯
Huh, that exists? I thought no one in SK would care enough to host a lemmy instance.
I care enough to host one
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.
Ironic how this doesn’t include communist countries.
How? Even though Lemmy has lots of commies, it has nothing inherently to do with communism.
The whole federative idea is communism
All communist countries used the communism idea to trick their people into a fascist government.
All fascists have always used leftist promises to gain support. That talk has never matched their actions. Some people learn to not trust lying, many don’t.
Bad actors don’t usually go telling it outright, it needs to be masked with something people need, without delivering.
That’s true, but it doesn’t mean truly communist ideas don’t exist. Both the Fediverse and Free Software, as concepts, are pretty darn “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” if you think about it, ya know?
Do any exist?
I think there’s like 12 countries that still claim to be communist. Cuba, China and Russia off the top of my head and there’s a handful of island nations that are doing quite well with it
Neither claim to be communists.
Russia
Jesus Christ, the willingness of westerners to make statements about things they are completely ignorant of is astounding.
russia decidedly does not continue to claim to be communist. putin’s parties have all been various forms of anti-comm far right nationalist parties. the idea that russia is still a champion of communism worldwide is some weapons grade tankie copium
Oh man I made the mistake of saying the word Russia and now I must be evil. You’re right, they’re not technically communist and after double checking yeah they don’t claim it anymore either. Last time I really cared about Russia’s internals was quite a while ago, and despite few changes to their economic system they definitely used to at least claim to be communist. Or that was my understanding at the time.
The point still stands, a handful of countries claim to be communist. A handful of countries are communist. Whether that’s a good or bad thing is up to you to decide
i don’t think you’re evil. i just think it’s fascinating how pervasive “russia is still communist” is as a talking point when it’s decidedly not
I remember googling “which countries are still communist” back around 2018ish and Russia being at the top of many lists. It’s just another ripple effect from propaganda that hasn’t died out yet.
That being said, fighting propaganda is much easier with gentler words instead of name-calling in my experience
where did i name call? i was just pointing out that it’s some tankie propaganda. i think your post was overall fine. ohhhh, wait did you think i was calling you a tankie? shit, i didn’t mean that, i just meant the propaganda was tankist in origin
Lol. Must knowledgeable liberal.
Mate, if you’re so fucking ignorant on the subject that you’ve never heard of the collapse of the Soviet union, you should not be commenting on it.
Zero “tankies” think Russia is communist; it’s a belief held entirely by ignorant western liberals like justanotherkay
And tankies actually think China is communist.
nope. nobody think China is communist. Not even the Chinese. This shows you don’t know shit about it.
Wow, Africa’s Fediverse game is weak.
There is only one Lemmy instance hosted in the entirety of Africa and it’s called Faithlemmy.online in South Africa.
Baraza.Africa is ironically hosted in the Netherlands.
Hey. Cant believe my country is in there. Never knew that. Wonder what is the instance name.
What’s your country? Maybe we can help
Hey. Thanks for offering but i just found it.
No worries, glad you found it!
Aaaah, a fellow Batman Beyond enjoyer!
Lol. No worries. I prefer to keep it down low where i live. I found it anyway. Pretty easy to find it. Thanks!
I prefer to keep it down low where i live
Ah. Australian. ;)
Staying private is understandable.
Kinda proud for our Turkish fellows keeping that instance running ✌️
