I've been on sh.itjust.works since day one of my Lemmy existence, because shit just works.

It also doesn't overdo it with defeds (beehaw) and isn't run by tankies (lemmy.ml) or nazis (exploding-heads).

Lemmy.world is hosted in the USA? I wonder how long til it gets raided by the feds

I think that is an artifact of their Cloudflare use. The main server is AFAIK in a Hetzner data center in Helsinki, Finland.

Why would it be raided by the feds?

Lemmy.ml doesn't take new registrations... Unless that changed

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

Seems like it did change

Who knew Lemmy was so big in Estonia?

Of course it's the one instance where I accidentally capitalized my username and can't change it to a lower case letter.

Wait, lemmy.ml is French ?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

No, they are just hosted in the OVH data center in France.

The .ml is the country extension for Mali, which was colonized (read that how you want) by France along with other regions of Africa. Just recently French troops left Mali after a nine year military operation to fight Islamic militants.
