Comparatively to the rest of the internet, it seems like there are a lot more Germans here. I’ve always assumed it was just because I was on a German instance and was in a sort of echo chamber (join feddit.org btw 🥳), but I just checked Fediverse Observer and it’s the 2nd largest country by users. Additionally, the German instances seem to be the biggest non-English ones.
Why is this?
It happens, things become more popular in some countries than others ,and Germany has 80+ million people so it’s not that small.
What I’m more surprised with is almost no content in Spanish, either from Spain or Latin America, just because of the number of speakers. I mean Hindi and Chinese are spoken by more people, but they tend to have their own software ecosystems.
Would you see the content if the language is not part of your profile?
I guess the question is, what are Spanish speakers using for social media
Facebook and Instagram, in general I think meta dominates South America and any other country where internet data is not cheap because they offer free internet access on their apps
They’re quite active on Reddit. It seems that the Fediverse didn’t resonate as much as with English speaking Redditors.
Have we told them about it in Spanish?
Lots of Spanish speakers also speak some English but also lots of them don’t. Some outreach in different languages might be a good idea.
Tengo naranjas grandes para el oso y dos gardenias para ti.
Soy gringo… Mi español no es bueno, pero no creo que eso sea correcto…
Soy gringo tambien. Es porqueria.
Spanish user here; I tend to avoid spanish speaking reddit, because they lean heavily towards neoliberal or the right in there.
So just like English-speaking Reddit, then.
Indeed, there’s https://feddit.cl/ and https://mujico.org/ but that’s pretty much it
