I stuck a service on https://kbin.world that redirects you based on a IP lookup for your country. In descending order it tries to;
-
If there is a kbin instance for your country it redirects you there (Just Poland for now!)
-
If you have a feddit instance for your country it redirects you to the most appropriate magazine on that instance, within kbin.social eg Germany
-
If you have a large national community on another Lemmy instance it redirects you there, again within kbin.social (eg Brasil)
For the ones I haven’t got around to it redirects you to kbin.social homepage
It could be broken down to regions too. As more national or regional kbin instances emerge I’ll replace the existing feddit/other sites.
I did a bit of testing with Pingdom and it seems to work
In the process I noticed that New Zealand and Japan feddit instances won’t load for some reason. Any idea why?
You made me publish an aggregate list of Fediverse instance lists by nationality and language.
Just redirects me to kbin.social homepage. I do recall seeing this before (in Matrix, I believe?) and it had worked then, or rather it gave me the “us news” magazine.
@Ori I’m making the US regional, I forgot to add in a default for areas outside of the covered regions. It should work again now.
