Maybe they’re Americans from U.S., but I don’t care about that. I was just referring to the posts I see when I’m browsing all, because the vast majority refer to U.S. things.
Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.

I know there are Chinese users on Mastodon. But since I joined the fediverse last year, I didn’t see any Russian user anywhere, or any Chinese user outside Mastodon.
I don’t mind seeing content in English or other languages. A different thing is to understand what is written in those other languages, except Spanish and maybe Portuguese, French or Italian. But I don’t remember seeing any language filter. But I know there is a language filter on Lemmy.
Exactly, that’s what I saw. As an European myself, I don’t give a shit about DeSantis or Iowa or what mass media has censored. It’s OK to talk about that, of course, but when all my feed is bombarded with US content…
Some time ago (months, or years, I don’t know), I tried to learn Croatian on my own. But I noticed it has the same problem as every other Slavic language: perfective and imperfective forms of verbs :S
I don’t see userbase. I see posted content, based on what I see from Kbin.
It’s what I see on Kbin, browsing through all.
Green is good, it’s the color of nature.
The map had low resolution, below 1000x1000. So, no Pacific Islands :(
With my user on Kbin, browsing /all, the only place I see international stuff is on c/worldnews, and not everyday.
Probably, but I’m not sure, those words are very strange to me in English.
When I’m sorting by all, instead of local or subscribed communities/magazines, everything I see comes from lemmy.world. It looks like Kbin/Sopuli/Beehaw are just a desert, until you sort by local and, aleluyah, there is updated content.
Some instances removed the downvote button. And I think it’s a good decision, personally speaking. If you like it, you upvote it. If you don’t like it, move on. Less toxicity, and less emotional damage when someone has rejection sensitiveness.
Now that I’m more aware about federation things and more servers appear in the wild, maybe I’ll change to a smaller one too. But I’m too lazy, and I’ve already changed my first instance to mstdn.social a year ago.
At this point, I’m still wondering why nobody is fixing those damn windows so people can’t fall out of them so easily.
I’m on mstdn.social. The admin is really cool, and the server is big enough to my liking.
When browsing all, it doesn’t matter whether the instance is in Australia or in Portugal. Because lemmy.world is the biggest one and all the content comes from there, that’s what I see.
