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!
do these lemmy instances also generally get hosted in that country, to keep latencies low for population in those countries? needn’t be i guess, but wonder if it is a prevalent pattern
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.
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
I swear Mujico (Mexico) was around for a bit. I wonder if it’s still up.

Seguimos vivos, pero casi que fuera de la federación jaja, nos votaron por nuestros chistes pasados de lanza. Saludos.
Parece que el Destino de Mujico es ser una especie de Bluesky en menor escala y con su propio estilo
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?
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.
This seems to be missing Mali, the home of
.ml. It’s in West Africa and since the French soldiers left it’s been an authoritarian client state of Russia. Very appropriate.ml represents all dictatorships…
Dictatorship of the proletariat, sure. But not for long IMO.
