We have created an instance in Basque language called lemmy.eus. This is the second day so Basque people is signing up and creating communities right now!

We also created a welcome site with the rules and other useful information: kaixo.lemmy.eus

    We are not sure if it’s a good idea to federate on an instance speaking such a little language like Basque with all these English instances. We still have to discuss about it locally. Do you think it’s a good idea?

    Why all the federated instances speak (mostly) English? Does anyone knows why instances speaking other languages don’t federate? Opinions will be very appreciated.

      I would only federate with non-basque speaking servers if you want people to be able to subscribe to communities in the greater lemmy-verse. Even if you federate, the default view for your instance is Local, meaning their front page will only be lemmy.eus posts, and then any signed up user can set their default view to All( ie federated + local), Local, or Subscribed.

      Maybe because English is a lingua franca and it’s not hard to learn to some people. I really hope to instances using other langugages exist.
