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!
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.
What's the US one?
midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.
I'm based in Luxembourg, and so is Haidra. Therefore I think we have that covered, even if we're not specifically country-based.
https://lemmy.cat/ and https://lemmy.eus/ for Catalunya and Basque Country
Still would like to see a Spanish instance emerge
I'm more interested in distribution of users and local-focus of communities than country-based instances, nevertheless the map does illustrate that Lemmy has huge gaps - no country instance in all of Africa, hardly any in Asia... What can we do to make it a more global conversation ?
Quite surprised to see Ukraine doesn't have its own instance
Jlai.lu is more a francophone than strictly French instance, even if as far as I know most admins are French.
No Greece? Also no India, Indonesia and Japan? Damn that's unexpected.
Hey. Cant believe my country is in there. Never knew that. Wonder what is the instance name.
¡Siempre hay un chileno!
(Curiosamente no tengo cuenta en la instancia de Chile. Debería arreglar eso.)
