  Yes but why specifically german? Is the founder german?

    Not sure what the core reason is, but Reddit also had a big German population.

    I guess Germans are rather privacy focused so they might have been disproportionately migrating during the reddit exodus.

      3rd Reich then east Germany gave Germany a hard lesson about privacy, so indeed they’re very sensitive to that topic

        not that the government cares, they want to centralize most of the data of citizens now with pretty poor protections in a lot of cases. sads

    Two reasons, Germans are very privacy focused and at the same time pretty tech affine. Also, sprich Deutsch du Huso

    The guy who made Mastodon is German, so maybe that was a fediverse on-ramp.

      At least one of the two Lemmy maintainers is also German or at least a native speaker as far as I know.
