Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance
-
I didn't assert it. In fact, I very intentionally used passive language to avoid asserting it as a truth. I said "I think there are... That claim to be"
I didn't say "Russia claims to be communist" or the likes.
I specifically phrased it that way to communicate that that was my understanding and not necessarily the truth. Then, someone told me my understanding was wrong and I corrected it. Then you came along, doing whatever this is.
I think there are
Yes, and that's the arrogance that I was talking out; thinking that your completely baseless thoughts are worth sharing.
someone told me my understanding was wrong
From what I can tell, your understanding is still wrong, given this "I was a victim of propaganda" talk.

midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.
Midwest US reporting in!

I swear Mujico (Mexico) was around for a bit. I wonder if it's still up.
Seguimos vivos, pero casi que fuera de la federación jaja, nos votaron por nuestros chistes pasados de lanza. Saludos.

I want one for my country, and I want to validate that users are in fact people from my country. Once inside, they can do pretty much whatever they want. We aren't going to be a lot of people at the start for sure. What would you recommend me?
If you're dead set to run lemmy - then just do it! If soam becomes a problem - turn on registration verification. Spam usually comes in waves, so you don't even have to keep that barrier on all the time. Having said that - if you want some sort of nationality verification - application process could enable it.
If you're not set on lemmy - give piefed a shot. That's what I would run if I were setting up from scratch. Same format social media, but, at least from what I'm hearing - better software.

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!
What's the French one?

Looks like I will have to make an updated
post with more detail after hearing all the feedback!Thanks for doing that! It'd be helpful to have it in list form too, so we can help point people to instances based on location should they be interested:)

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.
Just in case, there is also the french version of [email protected]

Let's put [email protected] in lemmy.dbzer0.com
Nice idea !

you could categorize lemm.ee but it's a general instance so not really

Thanks! Set the Icelandic blue color as the primary color, think it looks pretty nice.
Works well.

seriously speaking, how much work is to host an instance actually? Besides buying the domain and getting it up and running on some cloud/homelab? The are any security concerns or maintenance that would take a lot of my time? Do I need to put some effort in instance level moderation, or that comes from communities? How many resources/hardware an instance uses per user?
If you have the technical know-how it isn't too bad. Equally, moderation and accepting accounts shouldn't be too much hassle. There are other Admins and devs on Matrix who will lend advice if you need it.
What you need to do is to invest a bit of time into planning to make the instance sustainable, especially as you are planning on running an instance for your country.
- Get at least one more Admin onboard, so there is some redundancy.
- Accept donations - Open Collective is very good for this as you you can use a fiscal host who will hold the money for you. When you hit a critical mass the donations should cover expenses and scale well as your user numbers grow.
- Plan contingencies for if you are too busy to oversee the site or you don't want to do it any more, don't just drop off the radar.
I say, go for it and if you need any help then there are a lot of people around who are more than happy to do what they can.
