Germany seems to be suspiciously low. What subreddit did you use?
r/de has 3.1m
Ohh they used r/germany which is an english international sub about germany
None. Me and many of my friends always avoided the german subreddit. But this is just anecdotal from our point of view.
This is at best misleading. Because the average reddit sub probably has >5% monthly active users as compared to total subscriber countz
No thanks, half the r/uk posts are daily mail anti immigration shite.
I haven’t been on Reddit for about 2 years now, and it was getting terrible, but Daily Mail was generally downvoted.
Has it really got that bad? That’s really bad for the mental health of those folks still on it.
At least it used to be filled with Labour supporters who didn’t seem to have any idea of what their party actually represented, and hoped that it was some magical unicorn despite the voting patterns of the majority of their MPs.
Yeah. I visit every now and again and the sub is definitely divided.
Posts about immigrants being convicted of rape seem to disproportionately get posted and quickly upvoted, with half the comments being anti immigration (“I’m left wing but…”) and the other half wondering what’s happened to the sub and questioning why such posts keep getting upvoted.
The mods step in and remove tonnes of comments and people complain about how it’s a left wing authoritarian shit hole.
It’s like it’s been taken over the past couple of years with half the user base wondering what the hell is going on.
That said I’ve never found it a particularly good sub, for years every comment was just the same anti Brexit moaning (I’m saying this as someone who strongly wanted to remain) and it was just constant doom and gloom.
Ah geez that sounds difficult to visit. The wankers can stay over there.
Is Ireland second highest because it’s in english? It’s still seems overrepresented as the UK has one in 12 subscribing but Ireland has one in 4.
These are also not unique users i guess, so could be for example a lot of Irish redditors are subscribed to the UK subreddit but not the other way around i guess
Still seems oversized.
Could also be the popularity in general among the population, I don’t know but I see also Portugal being almost as big as Spain so i guess it’s just not perfectly spread.
I’m also wondering if there is a large amount of users with Irish heritage that join but aren’t necessarily residents.
It will be American “Irish” trying to reclaim their heritage for the most part.
From what I remember when I used to use it there were a lot of Americans, and Irish people that emigrated but wanted to keep in the loop
R/Ireland really had its own vibe, different from other subreddits, just look at the logo, made from a still from the Father Ted episode “A song for Europe”. I’ve not seen other national subreddits have such a different vibe.
It is populated next to Irish people with traveling Americans, migrated Irish and foreigners who lived or live in Ireland. The country holds a special place in all their hearts.
All in all it’s a bit of craic, with the moaning Michael posts, pictures of chicken fillet rolls and some disinformation campaigns (some people tell you that you have to pay for the luas trams, but everyone knows the luas is free.)
I think this uses /r/Netherlands (406k subscribers, English-only) instead of /r/theNetherlands (1.4k subscribers, Dutch+English)
5.2m? I suspect we’d need a server upgrade or three.
I’d love for more irish people to be here, i always liked them.
And r/europe has 10m members, but i don’t think it would be a good idea at all to try to get members of that subreddit in particular to come here.
Hungary does not have 600k people on one subreddit. The actual users who engage are maybe 10k at max. The reddit user count is know to be extremely exagerated.
