Does anyone know any Chinese speaking Lemmy instances?

To create local Chinese speaking community, admins who also speak Chinese might help better moderation and understanding.

I just saw one give me a second

Xinwen @ Monyet.cc - I have zero clue what it hosts or its politics.

Edit: fixed link

[–] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Took a quick look, the instance is mainly about Malaysia, and the Xinwen community is focused on news written in Chinese that are related to Malaysia only.

Does xinwen mean news in mandarin?

Edit: I’ll just use translate lol sorry

[–] peicheng@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yes, "xinwen (新聞/新闻)" means "news."

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohh hi, that community is for chinese news in Malaysia

[–] flooppoolf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

hi crabby :)

Edit: dundundub do dundundundun

If there was such a thing, a "Chinese learners" community for anglophones would be very welcome. I am trying to learn Chinese currently and it would be neat to have an online forum to bounce questions off of.

[–] stmcld@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Hey that would be nice, i hope a community like that does pop up too. I want to actually start learning it as well

Self reply.

I found two Chinese instances:

  1. bbs.9tail.net: focused on anime/comic/game/vtuber related topics.
  2. nicelink.me: Only one community for link sharing. Federation seems to be disabled.

They are both hosted in Taiwan.

Lemmy know if it sucked and I’ll keep an eye out for more!

Edit: seems to have 3 active users. I found my experience to be similar with Mexican instances

[–] Klystron@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Was hoping since Japanese is so popular with nerds that a JP community would be active but that one's dead too. Basically if it's not techy it's probably not gonna be active here on Lemmy.

[–] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

mind posting those mexican instances? or DM me, thanks!

[–] flooppoolf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mujico.org

Apparently there was some errors getting lemmy.world to post into mujico.org but they’ve been fixed!

Edit: seems to be dead :( viva!

[–] Blaze@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I'm not aware of any

[–] flooppoolf@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

https://bbs.9tail.net/ seems to be in mandarin

Pls tell me if I was stupid and confused it for another language.

Edit: lol pls ignore. I see now that it was your own post that I saw there.
