This post is dedicated to questions regarding this Lemmy instance that cannot be asked in normal posts.
Looks like this Lemmy is hosted on Greenhost.

While Greenhost definitely is not a bad choice, might at some point there be consideration into using a data center in Africa?
I would be happy to have it in a data center somewhere in Africa to reduce the hair-pinning and also give it the fullness of
Africa. However, when I checked options (like Angani), it was not easy to set up a VPS. Will look harder next time. Do you have recommendations for reliable VPS hosts?
I suppose it’s still difficult to find an african hosted vps.
I really like the concept of this instance! Hopefully we will see more african content on the threadverse in the future!
I think I’ve found a bug. If I view this (or any) thread on baraza.africa, I see several comments. If I view it on another instance (e.g. slrpnk.net), I see only comments that I’ve posted. Is this a federation issue?
This usually occurs if there is no existing interaction between the two instances. Your comment here and my reply to you will likely start the federation fetch. Future comments from Baraza should start to show on that community.
It looks like the other comments have started to trickle in. Just takes a bit of time, I suppose. :)
Would there be any interest in a Cameroon community? There seems to be a lot of political and environmental news related to Cameroon (and Ambazonia), and with the natural diversity (coast, jungle, highlands, savanna, desert), there would be no shortage of interesting things to talk about.
Hi there. Yes, if you think you can mod the community, I am happy to get that going. The more the merrier.
Sure, I can moderate it. Thank you.
Make a post there and I can make you a mod.

Done. Is that sufficient, or do I need to comment?
