My instance, https://lemmings.world, fits all of that! Servers in Germany, you can create communities and all defederations are evaluated based on how it affects the instance's users.

Oh that sounds awesome, I'll be trying it out soon then, thanks for your service!! <3
Sopuli.xyz has been serving me nicely!
I also am on Sopuli and I like it!
Same here!
feddit.de and feddit.it
the German one is pretty big.
the italian one "require" you to speak Italian.
feddit.it
Yeah I don't know how to feel about it, if I could create communities but I was restricted to keep them Italian only, then I'd be cutting out a large part of the population.
I'll take feddit.de into consideration tho
You're not, we also have English communities like https://feddit.it/c/askitaly And you're free to make post in English in italian communities using the English tag
The only thing they have at registration is that you need to write a sentence in "some regional italian slang" And that's basically serve the purpose to restrict a little bit sign in not to finish like lemmy.world targeting italian speakers
But it's actually pretty easy
Oh that makes sense actually, it's an interesting admission process, I would probably (totally) gravely offend my culture if I tried writing in my dialect that I already barely speak, but I'll pay the price if have to lol
feddit.de is home <3
As per standard procedure:
Sprich Deutsch, du Hurensohn!
Ze saym proseedjah ess ev’ree yeer.
discuss.tchnics.de is quite lenient when it comes to defederation, only defederating instances that host content illegal under German law (CP, Nazi shit) and blatant calls for violence (Nazi shit) or massive spamming. Based in Germany so somewhat decent privacy (still in the 14 eyes). Main languages are English and German, but others are permitted.
Keep in mind that Lemmy as a whole provides very little privacy, with any instance being able to log almost all activity.
Also, images are not proxies by default so you can do this:
I joined yesterday, very happy with it so far!
Lemmy.wtf is hosted on my own hardware in Denmark. I do require users to first request a community, before it gets created though.
That makes sense
The most hygge instance :)
AFAIK lemm.ee fits all your requirements, what don't you like about it?
~~Edit: Maybe I'm wrong. It's run by Estonians, but looking up its IP, it point to the US, so maybe it's not hosted in the EU.~~
Our frontend is globally distributed (so if you're in the US, you get it from a US server), but the backend server and user data are hosted in the EU.
Oh I see, thanks for specifying! I didn't look too much into it at first and just assumed it was US based (now that I think about it I don't even know why lol), I'll keep it in my list
Thanks for clarifying, I'm also considering migrating from lemmy.world and I'm considering lemm.ee, would you recommend that for someone located in north africa (Morocco)? Will i get latency problems? My last concern is should I worry about it degenerating (i still dont get exactly how instances work)?
I think latency should be pretty decent thanks to our global CDN, but I think in the end you should just try it out and compare it to some other instances to get the best picture.
Thanks for having me, I will look how to migrate my lemmy.world account to lemm.ee
Thanks for the clarification.
Nothing actually! So thanks for pointing that out, I'll be trying it
Where is lemmy.world based in anyway?
It's hosted at Hetzner, so I think Germany.
Ah, thanks. For some some reason I can't find it online.
FWIW, the head of lemmy.world (and the *.world "house") is Dutch I believe.
I don't know about the privacy in UK, but privacy on Lemmy is... Pretty much inexistent.
Tho maybe the email Adresses could maybe be stored privately somehow.
My instance compuverse.uk runs most of the time. Tho the servers are not giant, and there was already an issue where the storage filled up completely before an upgrade had to be made.
Tho now it would be running on a separate storage dedicated server which may allow for more storage.
Also the rules on this instance makes it pretty much compatible with every other instance and so would avoid the defederation by other instances. (please just don't put porn or gore in the all).
UK was a red flag for privacy even before they left the EU but you are right, just use a fresh email!
Doesn't the UK have a word for word copy of the GDPR?
It will seem there are quite a few instances called feddit with the country level TLD. Such as feddit.de, feddit.uk
Can someone hook me up with shitty Balkan memes? I love to watch them talk shit about each other but I guess they're probably not the kind of crowd that ends up on Lemmy.
jlai.lu is a French based instance on OVh. But mostly in French.
Self-promoting, my instance :) Hosted on Hetzner (Germany), allows creating community, doesn’t defederate indiscriminately :) Open to polite, chill and modern people.
Aside from mine, I like lemmings.world, lemdit.com and lemm.ee
feddit.uk is pretty nice
My instance endlesstalk.org is hosted in Germany via Hetzner, so that should fit the bill.
Defederations are only done, when it would have a negative effect on the instance's users, but I'm always open to discuss, if anyone disagrees with a deferation.
