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:
I never knew one existed there 😯
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.
Huh, that exists? I thought no one in SK would care enough to host a lemmy instance.
I care enough to host one
I found just one Japanese instance. It is unfortunate that Lemmy is not well-known in Japan.
Strange that Spain and Norway don’t have its own instance. Big countries
Well technically Lemmygrad.ml is hosted in Norway. But then you would have to deal with tankies.
Norway easily has the money to spare for an Lemmy instance. Where’s our feddit.no!
Jeg tror ikke det er nok av oss her, men… faen… BÅDE svenskene og danskene, men ikke oss?? Flaut.
**Translation: ** I don’t think there’s enough of us here, but… fuck… BOTH the Swedes and Danes, but not us?? Embarrassing.

@[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.
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
I’m based in Luxembourg, and so is Haidra. Therefore I think we have that covered, even if we’re not specifically country-based.
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.
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.
Guten TagI’d love to get down to the city level, even

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.ml represents all dictatorships…
Dictatorship of the proletariat, sure. But not for long IMO.
Bangladesh has one busdyverse.one by ml
you know any other ones?
It’s the only one I saw
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?”
Probably the latter.
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!
