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

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
