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!

Cool map.

I was expecting a list.

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/

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?"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

I mean in the post to represent official Lemmy instances.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 18 hours ago

Probably the latter.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Sometimes it feels like .world is

midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.

Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Huh, that exists? I thought no one in SK would care enough to host a lemmy instance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

I care enough to host one

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s on the website now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago

Wow, not sure if you did something or it was there all along... But I used to search for it by language. And the language is not there anymore :D

But seriously, thank you.

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

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (14 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Spain had smaller presence on Reddit as well. They tend to keep to other spanish speaking forums, often shared with Latin America.

Basically because there are so many Spanish speakers in the world, spaniards don't even bother to learn English or interact with the broader internet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What websites do you notice a lot of Spanish people using?

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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

There was a spanish Lemmy instance eslemmy.es or something similar, but apparently it's been down for months
