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!

I'm more interested in distribution of users and local-focus of communities than country-based instances, nevertheless the map does illustrate that Lemmy has huge gaps - no country instance in all of Africa, hardly any in Asia... What can we do to make it a more global conversation ?

Fediverse promotion in some part in third world country (including mine) is hard.

Most people just want free and easy access to the web with their existing account

Don't a lot of places also have limited data plans, but unlimited data for using Meta and other big tech platforms? That's still a thing right?

all the shitty ISP's in most of the African countries make deals with Meta to steal and sell all your data
