Been poking around All recently and I've noticed that there is more lemmy activity in Dutch than any other non-English language. German following that, and then Portuguese (I think, maybe Spanish). I see more Nederlander posts than even the UK instances. So what's up with this? Cheers from Canada πŸ˜™

I say hello from the low lands, but I mostly feel like I’m alone here. Who else is from NL?

Aren't we literally posting in a The Netherlands community?

Hallo daar :)

[–] JVT038 9 points 9 months ago

I mean, I personally don't think it's that popular, but I guess that the few Dutch users who are on Lemmy, just post a lot. I personally post often about Dutch football, in !eredivisie@feddit.nl

There was no instance for Belgium when I joined, so I am a Dutch imposter πŸ₯Έ

[–] Fleppensteijn 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm on a Dutch instance but it looks very quiet (I do have bot accounts disabled though).

[–] Docus@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, after disabling various bots reposting from nos and other sources, there doesn’t seem much left from the Netherlands.

[–] hellofriend@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Oh, maybe this is what I'm seeing. :/

[–] mononomi 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh interesting, I didn't know you could view the origin. Tbh wondering where the activity is coming from, because all activity in Dutch I see is pretty low. Maybe some bots? Or do you mean that a lot of traffic originates from the Netherlands?

[–] hellofriend@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, I just mean so much of it is in Dutch, on a .nl instance, or both.

[–] hyves 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Where are you finding all these Dutch posts? This is the only vaguely active Dutch sub I know of

[–] hellofriend@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The lemy.nl instance. But I've just read that it might just be a bunch of bots, so :(

[–] hyves 2 points 9 months ago

Aw. We're pretty used to hanging out in English-speaking spaces so there's probably more Dutch folk hiding around. I do know the head admin of lemmy.world is Dutch, as well as one of the main devs of mbin.

[–] jose1324@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

It's not? First time I've seen anything Dutch. And I am Dutch

[–] Tovervlag 1 points 8 months ago

I mostly read on other Lemmy's or however you say that. But I still come across this post. :)
