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!
Guten Tag
aber dieses Mal mache ich eine Ausnahme. ♥️Ich bin MrNemobody.
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 mean in the post to represent official Lemmy instances.
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.
Well I guess this is only the domain and their server us hosted elsewhere. But good point.
True, but it still gives the Malian government an ultimate authority over the domain, which just seems completely dumb to me. The also-semi-failed Libya has ultimate authority over
lydomains (like bit.ly) and has actually used its power to shut down domains for being against Libyan law. Domain hacks are not just ugly, they’re dumb.

Mentioning the French troops was a bit offtopic. But my point stands. Mali is a semi-failed state that seems to have exchanged one set of foreign lords for another, much worse, set.

Firstly, the French troops were invited by Mali’s government to help it put down its jihadist insurgents. The Russian ones were invited, in turn, for the same reason, after a media-propaganda campaign by Russia that played on historic animosity dating from the colonial period. A propaganda campaign filled with angry rhetoric and sounding much like your rant.
Meanwhile, Mali is still a semi-failed state with a jihadi problem which was caused by neither France nor Russia. And on top of that it now has brutal boorish Russian mercenaries instead of generally well-behaved French regular soldiers. Mali got a terrible deal and it was their own fault.
You know why I’m not embarrassed to say that? Precisely because I’m not a colonialist. I believe that Mali is not a child, it’s an adult. It has agency, it’s not a colony of anyone, it’s a sovereign country that can make choices for itself. If anyone’s views here are colonialist, it’s yours.
I’m based in Luxembourg, and so is Haidra. Therefore I think we have that covered, even if we’re not specifically country-based.
Oooh nice we got Luxembourg covered like sopuli.xyz!
Another cool fact about db0 ;)
Let’s put !luxembourg@lemmy.world in lemmy.dbzer0.com 😁
But they’re landlubbers!
Luxembourg is landlocked, it’s not their fault.
But we have the Uewersauer lake!
Damn, I thought dbzer0 was greek. Cheers eitherway.
I am personally Greek, but I’m based in Luxembourg.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
Liberals turning the word “fascist” from a specific term that allowed the analysis and identification of specific political phenomena, into just yet another synonym for “the bad guys”, has been instrumental in allowing actual fascism to rise again unchecked.
https://lemmy.cat/ and https://lemmy.eus/ for Catalunya and Basque Country
Still would like to see a Spanish instance emerge
Existed and died
Oh I know, I was on both eslemmy.es and lemuria.es
Poor Blaze has seen things 🫂
Just like Feddit.ch QQ
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/
Seguimos vivos, pero casi que fuera de la federación jaja, nos votaron por nuestros chistes pasados de lanza. Saludos.
Por qué no sale Mujico!? Claramente esto tiene que ser un error!

Ah… bueno… por eso…
Ahh pinche raza xd
Hello I live in the little gap there that is Belgium
Just a speedbump for the
germanfediverse armyIn America we just call that French Germany
excuse me, we are also Dutch Germany
Hey. Cant believe my country is in there. Never knew that. Wonder what is the instance name.
Lol. No worries. I prefer to keep it down low where i live. I found it anyway. Pretty easy to find it. Thanks!
Staying private is understandable.
Aaaah, a fellow Batman Beyond enjoyer!
What’s your country? Maybe we can help
Hey. Thanks for offering but i just found it.
No worries, glad you found it!
Jlai.lu is more a francophone than strictly French instance, even if as far as I know most admins are French.
¡Siempre hay un chileno!
(Curiosamente no tengo cuenta en la instancia de Chile. Debería arreglar eso.)
La cantidad de latinos es muy baja u.u
La cantidad de latinos es muy baja u.u
No Greece? Also no India, Indonesia and Japan? Damn that’s unexpected.
lm.korako.me is a Japanese Lemmy instance run by @karasu_sue@lm.korako.me . It’s small, but it counts!
I’d love to see a revised map with all these ones from the comments added in.
The is a Greek sub, with a few news posts daily, but noone is really commenting yet.
I had left the Greek sub on Reddit a few years back because the mods were assholes, so I don’t really miss a Greek sub to be honest.
Which one is the Greek community? Those that I found are dead.
!Greece@fedia.io is an Mbin community with the most threads in all of Mbin. Even more than mine!
Thanks!
What’s the US one?
Sometimes it feels like .world is
midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.
But isnt it not hosted in the US?
Ah, that makes sense from the name.
Lemmy.world
Oh, I thought their server was located in a different country. It’s a bad idea to have a server in a location that the US government has authority over.
Lemmy.world is hosted in the Netherlands, if I’m not mistaken.
The server is in Finland, actually. I am in The Netherlands, so is the non-profit foundation owning LW.
That’s what I thought. I don’t know if any big ones are hosted in the US.
LW is European
My bad, I thought it was American due to the amount of shitty neo-liberalss on the instance. It could as well be
Thats german iirc.
i can see my instance from here
Oh no I coloured in Ireland 🤦♀️
Isn’t there a lemmy instance for Ireland as well?
I was just going to ask what the Irish instance was. I’d correct that asap as they can get awfully feisty when riled. I’ve got ¾ Irish ancestry, so it’s not racist.
