Can you link me to that survey? I'd like to share that with a friend if you would be so kind.
Of course!

It is a great self hosting resource: https://selfh.st/
They're also heavy on Mastodon and the clone I use, Catodon.
It happens, things become more popular in some countries than others ,and Germany has 80+ million people so it's not that small.
What I'm more surprised with is almost no content in Spanish, either from Spain or Latin America, just because of the number of speakers. I mean Hindi and Chinese are spoken by more people, but they tend to have their own software ecosystems.
I guess the question is, what are Spanish speakers using for social media
Facebook and Instagram, in general I think meta dominates South America and any other country where internet data is not cheap because they offer free internet access on their apps
Spanish user here; I tend to avoid spanish speaking reddit, because they lean heavily towards neoliberal or the right in there.

As a kind of unique exception (!melbourne@aussie.zone being the other one), the mods of /r/ich_iel pointed out to feddit.de (previous version of feddit.org) in a pinned post: https://old.reddit.com/r/ich_iel/comments/14d65o7/%C3%B6ffentliche_dienstmeldung_%C3%A4nderung_der/
Compare this to all of the other country/regional subs who would remove similar posts for "self promotion", and you get why the German population was guided here instead of having to hear it from an second level comment on a Sunday thread

I've wondered and never thought to ask. Thanks, the resulting conversation has been awesome.
