My lemmy users per capita guess: 1. Russia 2. Finland. I can understand Russia cause developers are from there but why Finland?

I don't think that Lemmy is more popular in Finland, Sopuli or Finnish users may just stand out more.

Can confirm, I'm definitely not Finnish.

And judging by instance statistics (at Join-Lemmy for instance), it's Germany where Lemmy is more popular. Discuss.techns.de alone has total 6595 users and 794 monthly users. Sopuli for comparison has currently 4957 total users and 489 monthly users.

The instance user count statistics really don't tell anything. For example, I'm a Finn and I don't speak German at all but still my account is on tchncs.de. This instance is open to everyone, the same way than Sopuli is not just for Finnish-speaking folks.
