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?
