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
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.
you could categorize lemm.ee but it's a general instance so not really
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 ?
Haha! Brazil mentioned 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
By the way, are you planning to update this map, based on the comments poiting some "new" instances?
