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.
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?
There was a spanish Lemmy instance eslemmy.es or something similar, but apparently it's been down for months
Chinese gotta use state-approved and controlled mainstream apps and media, or access foreign stuff via VPN. Homegrown, off the grid stuff like Lemmy only gets by as long as it’s obscure.
If it’s big enough and ornery (includes political content, rather than say just all cooking recipes and form) it’s liable to be blocked.
Quite surprised to see Ukraine doesn't have its own instance
Feddit.ro exists, i think
I'm based in Luxembourg, and so is Haidra. Therefore I think we have that covered, even if we're not specifically country-based.
No Greece? Also no India, Indonesia and Japan? Damn that's unexpected.
The is a Greek sub, with a few news posts daily, but noone is really commenting yet.
I had left the Greek sub on Reddit a few years back because the mods were assholes, so I don't really miss a Greek sub to be honest.
It's not a bad idea with the push to end sectoon 230 by Chuck Schumer on behalf of the entertainment industry. Copyright trolls would come crawling out of the woodwork and sue the owner. Meta would weaponize it by intentionally posting infringing and other illegal content in order to shut down competition.

Still would like to see a Spanish instance emerge
¡Siempre hay un chileno!
(Curiosamente no tengo cuenta en la instancia de Chile. Debería arreglar eso.)
Hey. Cant believe my country is in there. Never knew that. Wonder what is the instance name.
Lol. No worries. I prefer to keep it down low where i live. I found it anyway. Pretty easy to find it. Thanks!

Ah. Australian. ;)
Staying private is understandable.
Jlai.lu is more a francophone than strictly French instance, even if as far as I know most admins are French.
