I think you're missing Lemmy.world.
Easily the biggest, and US based.
It's the first one mentioned, and Ruud, the founder, is Dutch.
Ruud is Dutch. FediDB says the server is in the US. So maybe we're talking about two different things.
The website and the agreement will be governed by and construed per the laws of the following countries and/or states:

Why did you think lemmy.world was US based? It's fully European.
But that's probably it - folks assume the instance that's for the whole world is the US-based one and don't feel the need to make another major US-based one.
FediDB says it's located in US.
Ah, that makes sense. So the FediDB info seems to be wrong - I wonder if they got confused by cloudflare as per the other comment in https://feddit.org/post/4529920/2993842 ?
Also, is there a way to let them know to update it? I guess someone could report an issue on github...
The founder is Dutch, it's hosted in Finland, and the hosting company is German
