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

          • 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.

          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.
