feddit.uk was registered last June, just like feddit.nl. Feddit.de was changed in August 2021. Unless the domains were transferred, feddit.de is the oldest
Concerning feddit.nl, I can confirm it was set up at the beginning of June. Since it's my instance ๐
I have to ask: why so many European country specific feddit instances?
Why not? To discuss stuff in the local language and discuss local news obviously. A local instance makes sense for that. Also allows you to place the server close by the country so that you get low latency.
Why ? Don't you geddit ? :) (Guess cause languages and dialects)
We have more cultures, languages, and national identities clustered in Europe than anywhere else in the world. Naturally people want an instance for their own.
