For Element, Matrix' flagship client, you are correct.

Anyone can build their own clients, however, and apps like FluffyChat & Syphon aim to mimick the look and feel of WhatsApp.

This is where Matrix comes in. Fully open source and supports federation the way Lemmy does. (Even more effectively, actually.)

This platform deserves a community solely dedicated to trolley memes.

I've had a pleasant experience with rail-on-ferry when I traveled to Sicily. It probably wouldn't work for Finland, however, as their train gauge is 1522mm rather than the common 1435mm.

Rail-to-ferry should work, however. Stockholm has very pleasant ferries to Turku and some that take a little longer to Helsinki. Both should help connect Finland.

That sounds like a great idea for most EU countries.

For countries like Malta, Cyprus, Ireland and Finland, that might become very expensive.

Please tell me that there's a Lemmy community out there for EU memes.

Why is that? That shouldn't be necessary, should it?
