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!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

Feddit.org. Feddit.de has been dead for months

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).

What was the Indonesian one called? 🇮🇩

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!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Thanks! Set the Icelandic blue color as the primary color, think it looks pretty nice.

Are you talking about Lemmy.ml?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

there it is! good ole instance of the people of Mali. at least i hope so. it would be pretty colonial for westerners to use their country code...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

They could use feddit.ml as a workaround.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Thanks for doing that! It'd be helpful to have it in list form too, so we can help point people to instances based on location should they be interested:)

There isn’t one yet as I made a mistake. We need someone to create feddit.ie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

I too also want to know what the Irish instance is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

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 ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Fediverse promotion in some part in third world country (including mine) is hard.

Most people just want free and easy access to the web with their existing account

Don't a lot of places also have limited data plans, but unlimited data for using Meta and other big tech platforms? That's still a thing right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

That's still a thing right?

all the shitty ISP's in most of the African countries make deals with Meta to steal and sell all your data
