In the last weeks several databases and websites emerged around the idea of buying European, or local.

Coming from different communities overviews of products and services can (for example) be found at the following websites:

• https://www.buy-european-made.eu/ : Community based database. Make your own suggestions!
• https://european-alternatives.eu/categories : First comer. Dev can be found on mastodon for suggestion.
• https://buy-european.net/categories : Community based database. Make your own suggestions! Devs can be found on mastodon and lemmy.
• https://github.com/uscneps/Awesome-European-Tech

If you are using Firefox or Chrome you can be nudged to do better by using the opensource Go-European-Plugin:

• Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/go-european/
• Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/go-european/klmgadmgadfhjgomffmpamppmkajdloc (If you know any other starting points feel free to comment.)

      • [!community2@niceplace.com](/c/community2@niceplace.com)
      • identified almost as easy as an e-Mail address.
4. Following a community is called subscribing, you’ll find a subscribe button when browsing communities.
5. Subscribing will keep you noted on new posts.
6. Mobile clients can make the experience more fluffy
