The communities listed above are decentralized. Centralized instances are omitted as they go against the fedi purpose and itβs better to cultivate digital rights in the free world. That means instances that have a disproportionately large population or are centralized on Cloudflare are not listed.
It's really cool to see how many new inventions they needed to adapt it for operating in Ghana. Honestly wish we could make something like that work here.
The local adaptations are the real genius here - designing for dust, heat, and unreliable power grids is somthing western EV makers could learn from instead of just making luxury vehicles with fancy touchscreens.
