I have to ask: why so many European country specific feddit instances?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

more instances are better from a federation point of view
might have to do with that almost every country had their own language and culture

Why not? To discuss stuff in the local language and discuss local news obviously. A local instance makes sense for that. Also allows you to place the server close by the country so that you get low latency.

Why ? Don't you geddit ? :) (Guess cause languages and dialects)

We have more cultures, languages, and national identities clustered in Europe than anywhere else in the world. Naturally people want an instance for their own.
