This is awesome; I’m too tired to do it right now - but I’d I remember I’d really like to normalise this against country populations to see what percent of a nation is a Reddit user.
At a glance, I’m pretty sure Australia is punching well above its weight - if nothing else.
Honestly neither of these give a very good impression of where users are from, but I don’t think lemmy collects that data. Maybe if there was some way to check which languages people have listed?
Yes, it’s a bit difficult to infer any trend indeed, could be thousands of 1 person instances.
Languages don’t really work either, people tend to just speak English on the Internet. That’s why I was asking Serinus, I thought maybe on LW they would have some data
It’s actually the second or third thing I mention about Lemmy if it ever comes up in conversation. Sometimes I feel like just dropping it because of it.
Yeah, that’s definitely a shame. Let’s see how it goes, but I’m about to create a !usdefaultism somewhere just to list those occurrences

Less than half, that actually surprises me. I honestly assume most people I meet online are Yanks.
I think a lot of people talk like Yanks, or just don’t clarify. I’ve had conversations with other Brits where we both assume the other is a Yank.
Happens to me a lot too, when actually none of us are from the USA
I could see the numbers being a little different for Lemmy, but I don’t expect that they’re wildly different.
I seem to remember Germans were like 10-20% at one point, but that might have evened out over time
Would make sense with how they handled the migration from /r/ich_iel

Nowadays, other countries also have Internet and can speak English
That’s reddit, not Lemmy?

Would you have such stats for LW? Really curious as it feels more balanced here

I’ve seen it, but seems abandoned, and not a fan of yet another community on LW
