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?
In my experience, the mental effort spent trying to understand the German in a meme makes the comedic payout better
I fully agree, lol. I browse ich_iel with reading glasses and a dictionary
