Which Feddit instance is the oldest?

SorteKanin, 18 days ago

Feddit.dk started in April last year so slightly before most of the others, though feddit.de takes the crown.

Who came up with the name “Feddit” for federated Reddit?

Everybody. Everybody who thinks of the concept of federated reddit instantly comes up with the name feddit

Ah, but only I came up with “Rederated”

Ruh-roh raggy!

Well, Mastodon instances usually aren’t called Fitter or Fex.

because “itter” does not share any sounds with “federated” the way “eddit” does

We just don’t say it aloud for the most part because it sounds like one of those new weirdly specific kinks.

I immediately came up with the name “poop wagon shit horse” but nobody wanted to join.

feddit.uk was registered last June, just like feddit.nl. Feddit.de was changed in August 2021. Unless the domains were transferred, feddit.de is the oldest

Concerning feddit.nl, I can confirm it was set up at the beginning of June. Since it’s my instance 😅

YourAvgMortal, 18 days ago

Oh, right, I misread the registration date, plus you obviously know more about it than me 😅

I have to ask: why so many European country specific feddit instances?

GregorGizeh, 18 days ago

We have more cultures, languages, and national identities clustered in Europe than anywhere else in the world. Naturally people want an instance for their own.

Why ? Don’t you geddit ? :) (Guess cause languages and dialects)

tedvdb, 18 days ago (edited 14 days ago)

• more instances are better from a federation point of view
• might have to do with that almost every country had their own language and culture

SorteKanin, 18 days ago

Why not? To discuss stuff in the local language and discuss local news obviously. A local instance makes sense for that. Also allows you to place the server close by the country so that you get low latency.
