Thank you so much for all your advice! I have already contacted Sopuli. I'll make an account there as my first step.

Bra! I'll follow you there.

No, not always – those living in the very north can take a train through Sweden. And it is always possible to travel domestically – Finland is a large country! But, of course, most journeys include seaways.

 

Dear Fediversalists,

I am new here. I moderate a 50 000 members Finnish language Facebook group on no-fly travelling since 2015. I want to reduce our dependence on billionaire owned media, so we are trying to start an expansion here on the free side. I learned about Feddit.org and founded the community https://feddit.org/c/maatapitkinmatkustus.

Do you think this was the best move to make? Maybe we should move to another instance before our community grows too big here?

There are some issues I am unsure about. First, I have realised after having created the Finnish language community, that feddit.org is listed as a local instance of German speaking countries and so I could not choose Finnish as the community language, I had to “officially” choose English and German instead, though we are discussing in Finnish in the community.

Second, I do not know how big our community could grow on this server. Maybe the server will decide some day that there is no room for us anymore?

Third, I am concerned about how Feddit.org is going. I just installed Voyager, but I cannot connect to Feddit.org. I could connect to any other instance with it. What if the server has to close – would our community disappear with all the data?

On the other hand, I am happy using Lemmy. The user interface is easy and intuitive (maybe because I happen to belong to the net forums and blogs reader generation). So what would you recommend to a Finnish language group with a potential to grow to (tens of) thousands?

 

When I created a group, I had to choose German and/or English as the language of my group, but I would like to have Finnish as the language of my group. Could we develop Feddit to have more group and discussion languages?

 

Hello,

I just created a group Maata pitkin matkustavat (https://feddit.org/c/maatapitkinmatkustus), and I can see it is listed here. I still can't find it with the Group search in Friendica. How could I make my group visible there?

It is working! Thank you very much!

OK, thanks a lot, I'll try that! Stupid me, i had only selected "Undetermined" and thought that will suffice me to see all the content in any language.

I registered at feddit.org. Is it not accepting new communities anymore? Can you recommend me a server where to make the group?

 

Hello,

I would like to create a new community, but the Create page does not work. I have filled up everything (it is in Finnish), but the green "Luo" (Create) button does not submit my data, nor lead anywhere. I can keep pushing the button, but it does not work. What to do?

Best wishes Santeri
