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 😅

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

[-] tedvdb@feddit.nl 20 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months 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@feddit.dk 11 points 7 months 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.

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

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months 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.

[-] YourAvgMortal@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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

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

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

Ah, but only I came up with "Rederated"

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

Ruh-roh raggy!

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

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

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] booty@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

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

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 8 points 7 months ago

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