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 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.
I wasn't aware of piefed, looks like it federates with Lemmy just fine. Maybe I grab a generalist fediverse domain for my country and have sub domains for lemmy, piefed, mastodon, and see what resonates more in my country.
