    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
