Can we see where someone is hosting a Lemmy (domain, insnace, thing?)
I guess, you got to check IP and see what country it belongs to, but if they use a VPS or VPN or both, you can’t really know where the person who manages the instance lives / operates.
Sometimes it is posted on the instance front page or about page.
Well I doubt it's Mali.

France. Maybe. It's mostly guesswork, but gives the same location for hexbear.net.
It's mostly cosplay commies rather than actual Russians.
Yea I figured it's just a bunch of middle class kids who have the privilege of being online and complain. Also fuck Hexbear....all my homies hate Hexbear.
