The past weeks I have worked on setting up a new Piefed based Fediverse instance: https://nord.pub/.

The main “selling points” of this instance is:

  • Operated and hosted in Northern Europe
  • Committed to avoiding US-based infrastructure and cloud products
  • Powered by Piefed

It is open to the world; the Nordic focus is quite loose and is mainly about geographic hosting and having a few Topics with communities in the Nordic languages. The main language will be English since that is the language of the vast majority of the Fediverse.

Community creation is open but I will not be creating any local communities that would “compete” with communities on other existing instances. However anyone who wants to create a community on this instance is free to do so, as long as it follows the rules.
