We already have that. There are lots of feddit.de .it .nl .something. And We have communities for politics in Europe / Gemany / ...
I see lots of fellow germans here. So no issue from my side...
Et jlai.lu pour les français !
French speakers also have a quite active instance with jlai.lu (je l’ai lu) which translate to I have read it … Reddit …
Spanish communities seems to grow as well.
I also see lots and lots of french and spanish PeerTube videos!
Yeah, I'm talking more about smaller countries. We have plenty of Europeans and North Americans, but for example people from South America, I don't see a lot, same goes for the East side
/me raises handThat said I think that it's better to create instances for languages than countries. Three reasons:
A good example of that is feddit.de - note how the instance targets German speakers, not people from Germany.
That's actually a very good idea. Language communities! So people could find a lot of content and not be separated by country
I love the internet because of the globalization. I can talk to people all over the world. Even without your good arguments, I'd consider it a loss if we divided that into nations.
Are you from there? Or do you want to do missionary work for other parts of the world?
Because I would need some more information on the 'target' people. What kind of social media do they use currently in that country? Is Reddit even a thing there or do people there maybe don't even need a good alternative to that? Maybe they like to spend their time on Twitter / Mastodon over there.
I know there are quite some Japanese people on Misskey. And I've seen lots of Spanish and French content on Peertube.
Ah yes. And you absolutely need admins/moderators who speak the language.
