Calling all #Fediverse admins of instances in the #EU. The #CopyrightDirective is coming, we need to show the MEPs how massively the EU Internets will be affected.

We are preparing a list of all EU-based #Pleroma, #Mastodon, #GNUSocial, #Peertube, #Funkwhale, and any other instances.

Please *contact me*. All I need is the domain name, which EU Member State it's located in, and the rough topic of the instance. Approximate user count welcome, but not necessary.

Please help. This is important.

@rysiek If someone has time they could do a script by using data from here: https://the-federation.info/ - fetch the IP, check if in EU and then sum the domains+users. I could try tomorrow but I guess time running out...

@rysiek oh, IP is already in the dataset, just needs country location. I've yet to find something that doesn't rate limit and ban me :/

@tastytea @rysiek thanks will check that!

@tastytea TBH I did prefer an online API that would not require installing and updating databases, have used maxmind I think a long time ago and it needed frequent updating to be somewhat reliable. Trouble is, I've got myself banned from all the free online services I've tried :D So Maxmind it is I guess.

@jaywink Just put the updater in a cron job and forget about it?

@tastytea @jaywink any luck? I am manually adding instances for the time being, but some automation would be great (but I can't handle everything ;) ).

@rysiek @tastytea Countries are now in the dataset! Also shown in the lists on the site. Unfortunately the big list of all nodes dies due to... the amount of nodes.

I'll work on a dedicated page to provide the data, will ping you today or tomorrow 👍
