This is true. !buyeuropean@feddit.uk is for whole Europe and not just EU (the community logo is bit misleading atm).
It’s of course ok to have a more EU specific community but I personally think Lemmy isn’t big enough to have so much fragmentation and incredibly specific communities (yet).
But we can link to !buyfromeu@feddit.org from our community if OP decides that there is need for EU specific buy-community. Fediverse is free and both communities share the same goal: support closer economies!
We at !buyeuropean@feddit.uk decided to keep the community since it also already has nice posts from e.g. Ukraine and Norway and for the same reasons you mentioned.
Again, it’s totally ok to have both communities and we link to !buyfromeu@feddit.org but sadly it seems OP hasn’t been online since they went to sleep and haven’t been able to contact them about possibly linking to us as well.
I mean the UK isnt part of the EU and there are significant differences in law and trade stuff so its not a clear cut answer.
Feddit.uk is not just used by brits
Yeah but the community is called buyeuropean not buyEU

The gold stars on a blue background flag is orginally the flag of the Council of Europe of which every country in Europe besides Russia, Belarus and Kosovo are members. That organization is still around today.
Did not know that, interesting!
