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?

    I guess the question is, what are Spanish speakers using for social media

      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.

      Spanish user here; I tend to avoid spanish speaking reddit, because they lean heavily towards neoliberal or the right in there.

      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
