I would say so, considering I write English here and speak German the rest of the day...
Edit: Alright, I've scrolled down and I'm not the first making that joke.
I've noticed there are a lot of German speakers on Lemmy, compared to other European languages. I'm curious, it a coincidence y'all ended up here, or was there early adoption in Germany for a more organized reason?
I think this was the same with Reddit. I've met many fellow german-speaking people there.
I think after the migration to Lemmy happened, it's just statistics. But I don't know why Reddit has been popular with Germans.
