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.

        I added you but the federated search isn’t working. Could you:

        • Restart your server.
        • Send me the federation block of your lemmy.hjson

          Here it is the block without comments:

          federation: {
              enabled: true
              tls_enabled: true
              allowed_instances: ""
              blocked_instances: ""
          }
          

          We restarted lemmy.eus server. Let us know if you see something wrong. Thank you!

            Those allowed_instances and blocked_instances need to be commented out:

            federation: {
                enabled: true
                tls_enabled: true
                # allowed_instances: ""
                # blocked_instances: ""
            }
            

            Then restart your server.

    Good news! I’m going to register right now, out of curiosity, to see if the Basque community is growing :)

    Berri onak! Oraintxe bertan erregistratuko naiz, jakin-minez, ea gero eta handiagoa den euskal komunitatea :)
