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?

    better at English It’s been a while since you’ve been in a video conference with Germans speaking English, hasn’t it? /j

      My pronounciation is awful, too, but that doesn’t matter on lemmy!

      And I’m still convinced that an English-language video conference with Germans is usually going to be better than with French people.

      Gotta use two newlines with Lemmy’s markdown, else it ignores it and then your comment comes out lookin a lil goofy

      But with a second newline it’s fine
