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.
