I see they've lately had some trends around food and architecture, but I assure you that traditionally, yurop is the meme community, where anything goes, while this one is more serious and less appreciative of memes.
That hasn't made economical sense for most products in quite a while. They still go, because taxes on gas and cigarettes are still lower, and I guess you can still get cheap haircuts.
don't forget the vietnamese markets that sell knock-off products. Plenty of people still buy their "branded" clothing there for a fraction of the price of an original item.
That depends. Most of the people I know (Czechia) go to Germany almost weekly for most of the essential products. Even if some prices might be the same, the quality is on a completely different level.

I'd put the memes rather in c/YUROP

But that seems to be less a place for memes than c\europe.

I'd second trolske's thought. !yurop@lemm.ee seems like a better fit for memes, as it's a more light-hearted community.
If someone wanted to create an equivalent of c/eur_irl, that would be interesting too though.

No thanks.

It is like that in Hungary. 80 to 90% of the prices here in Germany, but 10000€ annual income is middle class.

Please don't post memes here. Not every community needs to have memes.

I would say no, but maybe the other mods here feel different about it?

I made !2visegrad4you@szmer.info a while back, although it is currently dead

That's interesting, what's the average salary in eastern Europe? Average seems to be fairly high compared to India as far as I know.

I would prefer you ask for a specific community to be created with its own rules and moderators. Thanks! I wouldn't mix everything in here.

But Germans famously go to Poland and Czechia for shopping
