    I think one reason is the large number of German users on the Internet. With around 100 million speakers, German is the second most spoken native language in the West after English.

    According to the application texts, many users seem to come from various podcasts. We are also “endorsed” by one of the largest German-language subreddits on its front page (r/ich_iel). Our users have also started to watermark their memes, which occasionally attracts new users. Feddit also made it into an article in a popular IT magazine (heise).

      Wait, isn’t French second with 210k?

      Sorry, misread, you are correct about native speakers!

        Is Latin America not the western world? That would add another 200 million or so Spanish speakers.

          Aren’t Spanish speakers on their own link agregator, https://www.meneame.net/ ?

            No idea. But they said “German is the second most spoken native language in the West after English” whereas the wikipedia article is on Europe, so that would exclude Latin America if it’s part of the west. I believe if they are included, they absolutely dwarf the number of German speakers.

              It seems that it’s not that clear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world#/media/File:Western_World_Latin_America_torn_countries.png

                Ohhh that’s going to piss off Greek Nazis. The fascist Junta back in the days was all in on “we’re western we’re the source of everything western we are the west”, not to mention “Turks are filthy pigs we have nothing in common with them”, meanwhile, the music.

              It’s a good question though why there are so few Spanish speakers here (or at least visible).
