But it's far from obvious. One of the cloned services listed is Pinterest. Have a look at these [1][2][3] sites. All three of them were made by Hungarian companies and [1] was financed by one of the largest media companies in the country[4]. So something like Zkombinator is not that big a step from what is already going on.

It used to be http://hackful.eu/ but that appears to be down.
Very interesting! Thanks!
As a European, I say HN is the European equivalent of HN.
Now there may not be a French language or German language equivalent, but then again there are a lot of non native English speakers in here anyway

Anyone have any cool spots or locations that I should reach out to? I'm looking into Croatia, Serbia, Germany, and Romania specifically.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
