I'm not European but isn't Lemm.ee American?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Lemm.ee is European.
sunaurus (the owner) is from Estonia
And the instance is currently hosted in Finnland.

Estonian, .ee is the country extension

True, although it looks like a pun so I wouldn't assume it's someone registering their local TLD.

  • .ml is Mali, but I'm confident the .ml instances aren't hosted in Mali.
  • One can still register .su (Soviet Union TLD)

I can't find their terms and conditions, but they do mention the GDPR plus their choice of 16+ instead of 18+ for age restriction makes me suspect it's somewhere European.

Huh, TIL, I had assumed .su was Finland (Suomi).

The IP address is from the US though

That's most likely a cloudflare proxy.
