Been poking around All recently and I’ve noticed that there is more lemmy activity in Dutch than any other non-English language. German following that, and then Portuguese (I think, maybe Spanish). I see more Nederlander posts than even the UK instances. So what’s up with this? Cheers from Canada 😙

    Why is lemmy so popular in the Netherlands?

    Not sure it really is ? Where do you see all the posts in Dutch except here in this rather quiet place :) ?

    Anyway, hello from the Low Lands. How’s Canada these days ?

      It seems like a lot are on lemy.nl.

      As for Canada, we’re having a lot of problems. Unaffordable housing, food inflation, so on and so forth. Doesn’t seem like things will get better for a while, either. How goes it over there?

        I see. But that is a Lemmy site with bots posting and no comments.

        So sorry to hear that.

        Bad. Far right government is almost ready to start governing, but if you ask me, things were already pretty bad. I guess it could be much worse though.

          I hope for your sake that they govern well. I’ve heard that your new prime minister is an independent. Do you think that will help temper the far right coalition?

            I’d expect the new prime minister to only be a messenger for the new coalition like a pizza delivery boy. But on the whole things could be worse, like in Hungary.
