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!
Me from the only Lemmy instance in South Korea:
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
I’m based in Luxembourg, and so is Haidra. Therefore I think we have that covered, even if we’re not specifically country-based.
I found just one Japanese instance. It is unfortunate that Lemmy is not well-known in Japan.
Tbh, I’d prefer a list.

Strange that Spain and Norway don’t have its own instance. Big countries
Well technically Lemmygrad.ml is hosted in Norway. But then you would have to deal with tankies.
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!
