I want to remind you of this flow chart visualizing how the Germans worked on place 2022 (sorry for potato quality). Does that answer your question? 
placeDE didn’t participate
It's that german engineering everyone talks about
A big English speaking population, it's small enough that people have a sense of national pride but still large enough to have plenty of users, and most importantly a 3 color flag that's easy to draw with no outside coordination.
Plus, they just love expanding east and west.
Shots been fired.
Btw, if this is an original comment this has to be one of the funnier if not the funniest comment I saw in Lemmy so far. Well done sir/lady!
Nein nein nein
Efficiency ... German Efficiency!
At least 7 alt accounts decapitated the pony.
Either the bronies, germans or lemmy.blahaj.zone
It's always the Germans.
Lemmy.Blahaj.zone
But I'm just glad I can't find any hate symbols.
I love that he was labeled "SHONK" for most of it. Also kudos to the person/group that went around incorrectly labeling things.
it was actually a sign from someone with the username "scew" that was there before the blahaj got started. for a while the people from blahaj couldn't decide between changing it or removing it, so it went through a lot of iterations, but it seems they deleted it entirely in the end.
a shame tbh, that they picked a spot someone else had already worked in, and couldn't handle it being in the middle of their stuff.
Isn't Die Urbane the party of Victor Orban?
Some people...tried. Fortunately, their attempts got overwritten.
Those Brits have a pretty big flag in the bottom left... ~i know it's supposed to be the Aussie flag~
We never finish anything....
I think you guys were a bit too ambitious with the size..
I, a Brit, helped. No regrets.
Nine Inch Nails was the first thing I saw
typed this while wearing my pretty hate machine shirt
That's a lot of ponies...
People who can't see this thing is basically dominated by pony stuff are blind
I didn't know they were still going strong
The herd grows every day...
I really thought they were losing steam
There was a lapse, but I think people realized ponies are in their hearts forever now and there is no escape
Yeah I was surprised. Maybe I shouldn't have been.
And they're all so pretty and cool.
It started off all ponies so, win?
The blue shark one stands out most to me. I'm not sure if that's a specific community, or the entire instance tho.
That’s the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance logo
I think us Kiwis did well to get three kiwis completed (and I did my ULR and QR as well) and then our flag finished
to be honest im just pleasantly surprised that a rag tag group of us osu peeps left over from r/place managed to build a few big things
Has to be the KSP.
The transformers are spreaded around
the brony community
Yeah, they got organized very early and very fast.
That Nine Inch Nails logo is C.L.E.A.N.
Well done.
I just like that there were two separate Aphex Twin logos there.
I appreciate that the southern one got a Boards of Canada turquoise hexagon next door. Had to toss on Autechre to complete the triumvirate.
I just love that Boards of Canada logo is squeezed in between the Ontario flag and the Aphex logo. (I was helping to finish the Ontario flag and the c/Ontario text banner).
Germany flag accross like reddit 🙄
Some things never change
Comparing it to last year, that seems to be a lot of white space. Damn.
