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?
It took us forever to adopt Reddit. I'm guessing it'll take us just as long to move to FOSS. On the bright side, Lemmy is gathering some attention.
Here's one instance for Mexico https://mujico.org/ and I think there was one for one other SA country.
There was a spanish Lemmy instance eslemmy.es or something similar, but apparently it's been down for months
Chinese gotta use state-approved and controlled mainstream apps and media, or access foreign stuff via VPN. Homegrown, off the grid stuff like Lemmy only gets by as long as it’s obscure.
If it’s big enough and ornery (includes political content, rather than say just all cooking recipes and form) it’s liable to be blocked.
