There does seem to be a significant German contingent on Lemmy, as there was on Reddit. I have a very in-my-head Reddit moment I need to share.

Remember when "The Nations of the World brought to you by Yakko Warner" was a meme and people were making all kinds of permutations of it? I saw one that was like "the nations of the world if Germany won WWII" which was basically "Germany Germany Germany Germany Portugal Spain, Spain, Germany, Germany..."

On the most recent r/place I remember, the Germans had a habit of taking their tricolor flag all the way across the canvas, which made me think "Germany Germany Germany Germany" in Yakko Warner's voice.

c/[email protected] or however Lemmy links work I still don't know.

Lemmy links work with an exclamation mark:

Edit: the link still doesn't work, sorry

Probably because that community doesn't exist.

They're a nation of 85 million tech loving smart people. They'll be all over Lemmy.

84 million, and literally half of them are over 43, so not exactly a trailblazer population.
