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

[-] Cubes@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

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

German-speaking countries in Europe. Deutschland (Germany), Austria and of course the Confœderatio Helvetica (Switzerland).

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?

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

we've got fewer active users but have an outsized post/comment count

[-] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

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

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

This is by monthly active users, not by posts

[-] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

So dont even have a month of federation yet

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.

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 year ago

Probably a lot. I expect LW to go down to something around 17k, maybe even a bit less
