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 😙

    Oh interesting, I didn’t know you could view the origin. Tbh wondering where the activity is coming from, because all activity in Dutch I see is pretty low. Maybe some bots? Or do you mean that a lot of traffic originates from the Netherlands?

      No, I just mean so much of it is in Dutch, on a .nl instance, or both.

        Where are you finding all these Dutch posts? This is the only vaguely active Dutch sub I know of

          The lemy.nl instance. But I’ve just read that it might just be a bunch of bots, so :(

            Aw. We’re pretty used to hanging out in English-speaking spaces so there’s probably more Dutch folk hiding around. I do know the head admin of lemmy.world is Dutch, as well as one of the main devs of mbin.
