    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
