We need some new (a couple) of general-use instances to help direct this traffic! Piefed.social will help you and redirect traffic to you.

PieFed.co.za is hosted in Germany

It’s kinda geared towards South Africans, but it’ll be a place where anyone is welcome. I still need to do some housekeeping though.

Do you have another admin?

No, I need to figure that out. You’re welcome to be one.

Thank you for the offer, but I don’t have the sysadmin skills, and I already have a bit too much on my plate as you can guess 😅

Cool Cool, I thought you might already have a lot on your plate

I really love that you’re building a South African instance!

As much as the influx of Europeans to the fediverse is lovely to see, the European/North American bias here is really striking. That’s of course not a problem of too many Europeans, but rather not enough other people.

Thanks, it’s quite fun to setup and run an instance and helping the community grow. Hopefully I can get a bunch of South African and Africans to join my instance.

But anyone is welcome.
