    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 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 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.
