Which Feddit instance is the oldest?

YourAvgMortal@lemmy.world · 7 months ago

feddit.uk was registered last June, just like feddit.nl. Feddit.de was changed in August 2021. Unless the domains were transferred, feddit.de is the oldest

Concerning feddit.nl, I can confirm it was set up at the beginning of June. Since it’s my instance 😅

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

TedvdB@feddit.nl · edit-2 7 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)

GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip · 7 months ago

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.

YourAvgMortal@lemmy.world · 7 months ago

Oh, right, I misread the registration date, plus you obviously know more about it than me 😅

Feddit.dk started in April last year so slightly before most of the others, though feddit.de takes the crown.
