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!

@[email protected] @[email protected] did I miss any?
Your list is pretty comprehensive!
You could add:
https://lemmy.world/ to 🇳🇱
Maybe https://slrpnk.net/ to 🇵🇹 as that’s where they’re hosted.
Also you can add the Lechestein flag 🇱🇮to Feddit.org as they’re German speaking.
Defunct:
- 🇧🇩 Bangladesh: https://busdyverse.one/ ?
- 🇭🇺
Hungary: https://fost.hu/ - 🇮🇩
Indonesia:https://lemmy.id/ - 🇯🇵
Japan: https://feddit.jp/ - 🇷🇴
Romania: https://feddit.ro/ - 🇪🇸
Spain: http://eslemmy.es/ or https://lemuria.es/ - 🇨🇭
Switzerland: https://feddit.ch/ - 🇺🇦
Ukraine: https://feddit.kyiv.ua/
https://lemuria.es/ still has a Lemmy instance running, if any Spaniards are enthusatic, they could try emailing the @admin, @contact, etc addresses and see if the owner will transfer it over to you. I’m sure we can rummage up enough help to get it back up and running if you get control.
Would be kinda cool to have some more African and south+east Asian instances. I would happily donate to help get some instances hosted in poorer countries.
Bangladesh has one busdyverse.one by ml
I found just one Japanese instance. It is unfortunate that Lemmy is not well-known in Japan.
I’m in the process of setting one up for Iceland, feddit.is. Mostly there, just some final touches.
I’m in and I love the theme! The little island will be more self-sufficient thanks to you! Lets hop into a hot spring some time!
Thanks! Set the Icelandic blue color as the primary color, think it looks pretty nice.
Works well.
Awesome, I can’t wait to see it! It wouldn’t take too much to get the whole island on board.
Make sure it’s far away from a Volcano though.
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
I never knew one existed there 😯
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.
Huh, that exists? I thought no one in SK would care enough to host a lemmy instance.
I care enough to host one
If there are so many, why do I only see Feddit.de when I browse All?
Feddit.org. Feddit.de has been dead for months
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.
Hey, where’s Norway? And Iceland?
Guten Tag
aber dieses Mal mache ich eine Ausnahme. ♥️Ich bin MrNemobody.
This is where the machine is hosted? I am thinking about the domain they used might be a different one. Example I would take where it is cheapest to host it.
What is the Portugal one?
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 🤣
Russia and China not filled in
Lol
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!
