Because there are many Germans on Lemmy.

German community was huge on reddit. There were also a lot of users that were unhappy with the biggest german subreddit and reddit in general.

I guess quite a lot jumped ship when reddit started banning third party apps.

• there are many germans on reddit
• germans tend to be more privacy aware in my opinion
• and I also think Germany has a large and very dedicated open source community.
• then there are just many german speaking people. lemmy is popular in the west and together with austria and switzerland (and some other areas) you have almost 100 million native speakers.

I want to read the German language posts. Is there a translate button on Lemmy? I tried the "Select Language" button but nothing happened.

A huge group moved from ich iel subreddit (meirl but almost like 196 in practice)... most german redditors were there. The main German instance was called feddit.de but the frontend and database got very messed up. The main admin was MIA so feddit.org was made instead.

Dieser Faden ist nun Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.

We are legion for we are many?!

.world is hosted on Dutch servers, and the Netherlands are adjacent to Germany?

Must be all the German people.

Because they can.

I can't read a single word of german but I'm glad to randomly stumble on a german post.

Makes the fediverse more pluralist.

Denn Lemmy ist sehr gut but not very good

It is possible to block all of the primarily foreign language communities, but the bad news is you have to do it one at a time. When I see posts from a community in a language I do not speak, I block it so it does not clutter my feed.

Because Germans are more educated and has a higher level of consciousness than Americans

Idk but I need to learn German. A goth German wife sounds pretty nice. She can sing Die Arbeiter von Wien to me.

How often can that same question be asked without it being stupid?
