  I’m also curious about the country distribution on lemmy.

  I’m a developer for an iOS Lemmy client. The distribution of our downloads by territory is as follows (sample size >18k):

  • 50.2% US
  • 9.9% Germany
  • 5.8% UK
  • 5.2% Canada
  • 3.5% Australia
  • 25.4% other

  Biases:

  • It only counts users who are using that specific app, which:
    • Is only available on iOS, so Android users aren’t counted. This could have a significant effect on the results because iOS has a much higher market share in the US than, say, Germany.
    • Could be ranked differently in App Store search results in different regions.
    • Only supported English, until very recently. Users who prefer a different language may have chosen an app that supports their language.
  • It includes users who downloaded the app but later stopped using Lemmy, which isn’t ideal.

  Back in 2023 lemmy.ca did a survey of their users, which you may find interesting.

    oh definitely, I’ve been searching for these numbers forever, I didn’t really know where to ask. I think I tried Ask Lemmy once but no dice

    thank you so much! it’s great to know that the national distribution is so wide, even considering those statistical biases.

    thank you smjarf.

    50.2% US makes sense as the most popular as the app is based in the US.

  This is a kind of a niche internet space; High volume of furries is good.
