South of the United States. You know, New Mexico and California also border Mexico. Texas really needs to get over itself.

Below Canada

Not surprised US dominates.

[–] samus12345 6 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Am surprised Germany is number 2. Wonder why that is?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No idea, but half the posts on everything past page 6 are in German and Dutch, so I'm not surprised

I also see a lot of French posts despite them not making the top 10

Maybe because feddit.de was one of the early country-specific instances? They've had more time to recruit and grow.

Grüß Gott!

Ich könnte sagen ich bin überrascht aber feddit.de ist's nicht :)

Germans hate centralization, love privacy and federation.

[–] samus12345 5 points 1 year ago

Don't I know it regarding privacy! I like to use Google street view to see what old places I've lived look like, and Germany is a big white spot on the map compared to most countries.

All the big german subreddits have automod link to the equivalent lemmy community under every post

[–] samus12345 3 points 1 year ago

Presumably they do that because Germans value their privacy more than most.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It definitely shows

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Doubt they will dominate when you look at users per capita.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Well not surprising but what would be more interesting IMHO would be a per capita (well or by some multiple, not sure lemmy is popular enough to be per capita stricto sensus) stat... I'm probably a bit biased by the fact I live in a small country...

Thanks that's cool!

So many Americans

I would have thought there were more Russians based on... some posts...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They're all just Americans that are in denial.
