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!
Wow, Africa’s Fediverse game is weak.
There is only one Lemmy instance hosted in the entirety of Africa and it’s called Faithlemmy.online in South Africa.
Baraza.Africa is ironically hosted in the Netherlands.
Ironic how this doesn’t include communist countries.
Do any exist?
I think there’s like 12 countries that still claim to be communist. Cuba, China and Russia off the top of my head and there’s a handful of island nations that are doing quite well with it
russia decidedly does not continue to claim to be communist. putin’s parties have all been various forms of anti-comm far right nationalist parties. the idea that russia is still a champion of communism worldwide is some weapons grade tankie copium
Zero “tankies” think Russia is communist; it’s a belief held entirely by ignorant western liberals like justanotherkay
Oh man I made the mistake of saying the word Russia and now I must be evil. You’re right, they’re not technically communist and after double checking yeah they don’t claim it anymore either. Last time I really cared about Russia’s internals was quite a while ago, and despite few changes to their economic system they definitely used to at least claim to be communist. Or that was my understanding at the time.
The point still stands, a handful of countries claim to be communist. A handful of countries are communist. Whether that’s a good or bad thing is up to you to decide
Mate, if you’re so fucking ignorant on the subject that you’ve never heard of the collapse of the Soviet union, you should not be commenting on it.
i don’t think you’re evil. i just think it’s fascinating how pervasive “russia is still communist” is as a talking point when it’s decidedly not
I remember googling “which countries are still communist” back around 2018ish and Russia being at the top of many lists. It’s just another ripple effect from propaganda that hasn’t died out yet.
That being said, fighting propaganda is much easier with gentler words instead of name-calling in my experience
Lol. Must knowledgeable liberal.
where did i name call? i was just pointing out that it’s some tankie propaganda. i think your post was overall fine. ohhhh, wait did you think i was calling you a tankie? shit, i didn’t mean that, i just meant the propaganda was tankist in origin
And tankies actually think China is communist.
nope. nobody think China is communist. Not even the Chinese. This shows you don’t know shit about it.
Neither claim to be communists.
Russia
Jesus Christ, the willingness of westerners to make statements about things they are completely ignorant of is astounding.
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.
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.
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?
I’m based in Luxembourg, and so I Haidra. Therefore I think we have that covered, even if we’re not specifically country-based.
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!
Oooh nice we got Luxembourg covered like sopuli.xyz!
Another cool fact about db0 ;)
Damn, I thought dbzer0 was greek. Cheers eitherway.
I am personally Greek, but I’m based in Luxembourg.
As a Belgian running an instance:
Am I a joke to you?
I’m kidding ofcourse, and I’m not really representing my country, except for an aptly named community.
Just in case, there is also the french version of !belgique@jlai.lu :)
Same, I’ve had to surf along with The Neighbours to find something close by and stable…
Lemmy.world is also hosted in the Netherlands IIRC, I’m just proxying through the UK.
Looks like we’re going to use your instance as a neutral meeting place for all the EU instance admins.
A long held tradition by my countrymen! Rejoice!
until we all start a major global conflict by invading you. also tradition
Preposterous, I will discuss this with my 18 political parties and come back to you within 200 days.
The north and south will make contradictory statements about it and the federal decision will be somewhere in between
The alliance needs to respond quickly to this threat!
Is there a instance for Greenland or is it covered by the danish instance?
It’ll soon be covered by the US instances if the Danish army can’t see off the Yanks.
Greenland’s got their Lemmy instance in the drawer under the constitution. Ready to be unveiled to the world!
A bit like the secret Greenland Army hiding under the ice until the day they are needed.
It is covered under Denmark as they’re still part of the realm. But they have their constitution written ready for the day of independence.
Yeap, I’m aware of the Denmark and Greenland situation but I was curious if Greenland had their own instance
https://lemmy.cat/ and https://lemmy.eus/ for Catalunya and Basque Country
Still would like to see a Spanish instance emerge
Existed and died
Just like Feddit.ch QQ
Oh I know, I was on both eslemmy.es and lemuria.es
Poor Blaze has seen things 🫂
Hey. Cant believe my country is in there. Never knew that. Wonder what is the instance name.
What’s your country? Maybe we can help
Hey. Thanks for offering but i just found it.
No worries, glad you found it!
Aaaah, a fellow Batman Beyond enjoyer!
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.
I prefer to keep it down low where i live
Ah. Australian. ;)
Guten TagIch bin MrNemobody.
aber dieses Mal mache ich eine Ausnahme. ♥️
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
Huh, that exists? I thought no one in SK would care enough to host a lemmy instance.
I care enough to host one
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.
I never knew one existed there 😯
i can see my instance from here
Oh no I coloured in Ireland 🤦♀️
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.
Isn’t there a lemmy instance for Ireland as well?
Jlai.lu is more a francophone than strictly French instance, even if as far as I know most admins are French.
Ukraine has an instance: https://feddit.kyiv.ua/
The domain has expiried.
I am actually surprised they got that on the first place. That’s a very major domain name to have…
It looks like the major city names (and maybe others) are registered by the government and allow people to register subdomains.
You have to apply for a trademark to use the name.ua domain.
Thanks. Very interesting, I would think that is a nightmare for phishing and similar threats, but maybe they have good monitoring or oversight.
The admin is still figuring things out 🤣
Would lemm.ee count for Estonia?
Do you know where it is hosted?
Estonia
Oh nice thats definitely makes it unique around here! Go Estonia the next nordic country!
The middle east is completely gray 🥲 (except Turkey but that instance is dead, I’m not even Turkish)
Kinda proud for our Turkish fellows keeping that instance running ✌️
