Hi everyone!
You may have noticed the post flairs have changed. They now include:
- Africa
- Antarctica
- Asia
- Europe
- North (and Central) America
- Oceania
- South America
This means we have removed the flairs for Australia, New Zealand, and Islands without Continent. Since this may be confusing for some, we have created a comprehensive list of countries, territories, and regions by continent that we can use to determine which flair to use if you're unsure. You can find it in the wiki here and in the sidebar of the subreddit.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if something isn't listed and we'll be happy to answer/add things there :)
Good job, thanks!
No problem!

All thanks to you!
I may have missed it since I’m on my phone, but I didn’t see the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao) listed in the wiki page?
Thank you! I've added them (South America)
You’re welcome! I noticed because I never know how to classify them haha
Well now you know!
They are part of the kingdom of the Netherlands so European in a way.
Very true, but they are physically located in south America
Why does the game need continent flair at all? If someone can't even guess the continent...?
A while back we asked the community if they wanted the flairs or just a generic flair, and the overwhelming vote was that they wanted them, so we're listening to that. We will continue listening to the community so if that changes in the future we will adapt with that :)
Maui please
Since Maui is part of Hawaii, it falls under that!
Hawaii is also not listed 🙂
It sure is! With the United States 😉
You are right of course I looked under H.
I found that Azores is missing on the list, and it is one of those places you could be in doubt whether you should categorize it as Europe or Africa.
don’t they fall under Portugal?
Depends on if you look at geography or politics. The Canary Islands is categorized as Africa even if they're a part of Spain.
touché, fair enough
I saw that there was a discord server for this community but the links didn't work anymore
We don't have a discord server for this community, and from my knowledge of having been here 4+ years, never had one.

5 years ago lol.
I really don't like how you have to give the continent away already, but I do like quickly being able to sort through the sub to see whats open in Europe for example. Im divided on it.
If we’re posting something from the European side of Istanbul, which flair should we use, since Turkey is listed under Asia?
You can use Europe.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I don't have a life 🥲 jk I work from home and partly from my phone so I don't usually miss notifications.
