    I'm also impressed by feddit.de presence, Fediverse culture seems strong in Germany

    Anyone from Germany care to comment on why this is? Y'all seem to have such a large presence on here compared to others

    I'm from another nation-oriented instance that has an outsized presence, right next to Duitsland.

    My guess is:

    • Germany is a big, populated country
    • People from DACH also gravitate towards feddit.de
    • The culture kinda gives itself to the project
    • The NL and the EU are the main funders of Lemmy
    • The government itself is embracing the Fediverse

    Curious about the blank stats for hexbear. Should this populate over several weeks or do they pull from OUR statistics and it just didnt take them yet?

    Yeah, dunno how #10 accurately reflects our rank because we are far and away more active than many of these instances

    I wonder how many of the accounts on world are ones that are just left for dead as people moved around to other instances. I myself was day one on world but the outages became too much.
