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!

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?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

Ah, that makes sense from the name.

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.
