In Germany it's 7,13 € per month.

Hello everyone! A few days ago I set up a small server on Revolt. It’s a Discord alternative, so there are different channels to chat, share products and ideas, ask questions, etc.

If anyone is interested in meeting and hanging out with like-minded folks, come say hi! There are currently 50 members. Lots of room to grow and develop into an active little community. Cheers

Adding reviews with political opinions might remove the review.

So it might be best to just rate it based on features if you write something, or just rate the apps without text at all.

I'm trying Lunatask. It's a one-man project, and the author is from the Czech Republic. The software looks interesting, complete, and visually appealing. It also stands out from a privacy perspective, offering end-to-end encryption.

Announcement: https://old.reddit.com/r/Startups_EU/comments/1j5njk2/europeanstartupseu/

Hey Europe!

We’ve launched a small initiative called european-startups.eu to bring together all European startups, brands, products, and initiatives in one place. We are a group of people working in different areas within the IT space, but all with a shared goal: to make European startups more visible.

While there are platforms like ProductHunt and other websites showcasing EU products and alternatives, we wanted to combine the best of both.

We've introduced a voting system where you can upvote projects you like. Each week, the featured projects will change, and the winners will be highlighted on our website. A newsletter will also be sent to subscribers with updates. No sponsorships, no shady practices. The only option we may consider is adding sponsors to a separate page or to the footer with a very minimal logo.

Additionally, we’re running our own AI locally, connected to DNB & VIES, to gather EU companies into one easy-to-navigate list.

We already got featured in some areas, so I hope our server is powerful enough to handle the traffic. We still have a lot to do.

PS Fun fact: we used 16-core 32gb from Hetzner to run all these fancy stuff. 😄

edit: After reading the privacy notice (which is only available after Installation), it seems they are using Gemini AI for identifikation, so Take the results with a grain of Salt. Could have been better utilizing Mistral or a Database Like FDDB directly.

Mentioned by nightm4re I would really love for this thingy to skyrocket.

And yes, I know.... I know.. drop in replacement, usability, acceptance. Is a simple monkey not allowed to dream?

Hello everyone,

I'm living in Germany and looking for a good PayPal alternative. I mainly need it for:

• Sending money to friends
• Paying online, especially to small vendors
• Ordering food and everyday purchases

I've heard about Bunq, Klarna, Revolut, and N26, but I'm not sure which one would be best for my needs. Has anyone had experience with these services in Germany? Which would you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance!

For the people who have not yet decided on a search engine. The most EU way you can go is Ecosia or Qwant as they are building their own search index.

Ecosia is my personal pick as its also aimed at planting trees and they have quite a good browser alongside it.

So, I want to slowly start moving towards better platforms that are from eu but I have issue. I don’t know which discord alternative is the best. I only know matrix and revolt. Would someone help me or give me their thoughts?

I've decided to make some significant changes in my digital life. I've taken the plunge and am rooting out most US-based services from my usage list. This includes canceling all my streaming subscriptions, putting my Reddit account in cold storage, and deleting my Twitter accounts. Additionally, I'm in the process of removing my presence from Meta platforms. This shift is part of my effort to simplify and re-evaluate my online habits and dependencies.

One of the primary reasons for this change is the importance of bolstering the EU economy. By supporting European companies and services, I believe we can foster innovation and growth within our own region. This not only strengthens our economic independence but also encourages the development of solutions tailored to our specific needs and values.

In my exploration of EU-based alternatives, I've found that while they may be slightly more expensive, they often offer superior technology and usability. The focus on quality, privacy, and user experience in many European products aligns with my personal values and expectations. By investing in these solutions, I'm not only supporting local businesses but also benefiting from advanced and reliable services.

This transition is about more than just personal preference; it's about contributing to a stronger, more self-sufficient European digital landscape. I'm excited to continue discovering and integrating more EU-based services into my daily life.

Despite the costs and effort needed to make this change, I would like to encourage and motivate everyone else considering doing the same. It will undoubtedly be tough for a while, but if we push forward together, it will be better for all of us in the end. Let's support each other in this journey towards a more independent and innovative digital future.

Found on r/buyFromEU: a promo video by our Polish neighbours. It can be enjoyed with subtitles.

Overall, I think it is a nice campaign and shows some products and inventions you wouldn't associate with Poland at a frist glimpse.

DNS0 EU

The European public DNS that makes your Internet safer.

A free, sovereign and GDPR-compliant recursive DNS resolver with a strong focus on security to protect the citizens and organizations of the European Union.

Slowly beginning to use European alternatives for the following. See the list below.

I figured it was a good start to all the new ones around here: Google -> Qwant Apple Music -> Qobuz ChatGPT -> Me Chat Twitter/X -> Mastodon

And of course: Reddit -> Lemmy

I will update this list as I continue 👌🏼

Eventhough dated (2014) these maps might be a good starting point for a closer look at supply chains and economic dependencies.

In regards to everyday products this begs the question if people could really go "cold turkey European only". It should be impossible, especially since all manufacturers rely on goods from different countries.

Which doesn't imply, that the gist of strengthening Europe is futil. But it makes clear, that this is a marathon and not a sprint.
