What's the US one?
Sometimes it feels like .world is
midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.
But isnt it not hosted in the US?
Ah, that makes sense from the name.
Lemmy.world
Oh, I thought their server was located in a different country. It's a bad idea to have a server in a location that the US government has authority over.
Lemmy.world is hosted in the Netherlands, if I'm not mistaken.
That's what I thought. I don't know if any big ones are hosted in the US.
