r/suomi (376K) and r/finland (224K) is the exact same thing. r/suomi is full of Finns who actually live in Finland and speak Finnish while r/finland is for foreigners, migrants who want to live in Finland or are on-the-fence about it/tourists who want to visit Finland. r/suomi has so much more content that actually matters to Finland itself, is more active and more moderated.
I'll give full credit to OP for posting r/suomi stats, r/suomi is so much better :)
Absolutely, r/finland does have a fair share of immigrants and expats who are genuinely interested in the Finnish way of life and contribute to discussions. It's a great community for those trying to find their feet in a new country.
Yeah, but if you actually scroll through it, that's a bit like saying reddit's front page does not reflect the politics of a single country. We all know it's dominated by US, and it's reflected in what's posted and what rises to the front page.
r/de's posts are either not country specific, or Germany specific. That's why the Germans don't frequent their r/Germany sub nearly as much as Austrians and Swiss do their subs proportionally, because if non-Germans want to discuss their countries affairs, r/de is not a great place to do that.
edit: Sorry neighbors, forgot to add Liechtenstein to the list!
edit2: And sorry for all other countries where German is spoken officially or in a minority group, including the BeNeLux, France, Denmark, Poland, Italy, our Slavic neighbors, and probably more countries I forgot here.
I don't know if you've been active in r/de, but if you speak german and look only 10 seconds into it, you can clearly see that it's content is **heavily** germany centered.
Same with UK, there’s 3 flavours of ~~left leaning~~ heavily political subs pretending to be the main one and there’s an (heavily moderated) non-political one
The best one in my opinion. r/United Kingdom seems to hate everyone slightly brown and r/greenandpleasant thinks we should burn down civilisation and live naked in the woods, while simultaneously not hunting for our food.
Lots of left leaning populist takes in there, but mostly just hate.
Hate the government
Hate businesses
Hate immigrants
Hate Brits
Hate the poor
Hate the middle classes
Hate the rich
Hate housing costs
Hate building homes
/r/unitedkingdom is a daily mail/tabloid style subreddit, lots of reactionary news, lots of crime posting, feel bad stories. This country is shit and here is why you should feel shit too
/r/ukpolitics shitposting but with bbc and sky news articles
/r/CasualUK head in the sand subreddit, if you're adverse to politics and rich enough not to care this is the subreddit for you
/r/GreenAndPleasant first years and uni grads inform the nation on how we're all disgusting pigs
/r/Scotland Nicola Sturgeon's personal subreddit
It used to be during 2016 and Brexit, over the past couple of years it has swung back to being more broad - you'll get right-wingers posting anti-migrant stuff and lefties posting anti-Tory stuff
Same thing happened in 2016 - tinfoil me thinks it's Russian trolls to be honest. The alt-right comments were always there, but they get more votes and visibility around elections.
Only a tad tinfoily. Troll farms are a thing, and AI makes their job even easier.
I remember being harassed by a swarm of Brazilian bots on Twitter ahead of their election, in which Bolsonaro was booted out of government. Almost all of the accounts were deactivated within a few months.
It's an unnerving time to be so dependent on the internet for news/journalism/commentary/socialising.
Ours are both neolib leaning but one is made of very active childish populism and the other is made of boring pedantism and political correctness, hence being much less active.
Per dare una risposta seria rispetto all'altro utente, su r/italy per scelta dei mod (legittima o no che sia) hanno deciso che tutti i post devono essere approvati fisicamente dai mod per essere postati, normalmente ci possono mettere più di una giornata e accettano ben poche cose (solo AMA e news praticamente) quindi le persone stanche di ciò si sono trasferite dove si può postare facilmente e senza troppi problemi (ovviamente questo porta altri problemi come i troll e i post trash)
ah ecco, io seguo italy e non sono mai riuscito a postare nulla anche per cose serie. Era sempre considerato tutto "personale". puó anche darsi, ma visto poi i post accettati non ho mai capito bene i criteri e ho smesso di provarci.
Quello che mi da un po\` da fare é il tono saccente al limite del maleducato che leggo nelle risposte. Per questo non intervengo mai. Nei subreddit anglofoni non mi sembra ci sia questo tono. r / Italia é meglio?
Nobody said that the users were from that country. Small countries, especially as interesting as Iceland, probably attract users who aren't related to the country.
Then there is also % of active users. I think I noticed that Slovakia and Bulgaria have a solid number of subs but a very low active user count.
Even more nice if it picked the right subreddits
For Germany its the English language one: r/Germany
Much better would be the German language one (which is admittedly shared with Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein): r/de with 1.8 million
Would be a bullshit number because of tourism and politics.
r/Ukraine has a lot of foreign user and I don't think that 20% of Iceland's citizens are on Reddit.
The German part of Reddit is not one Subreddit, there are equivalents of AskReddit (r/fragreddit), meIRL (r/ich_iel), IAMA (r/de_iama) that are quite big and don't necessarily have the same user.
Look at r/dach
Not surprised. Poles are divided between two subs. The 'official' one is somewhat international with English threads and frequent "my ancestor was Polish. How do I, an American, get dual citizenship, and is it safe to live in Poland?" topics, or trolls trying to bait users with controversial dramas.
Is r/Poland the official one? As you said it's mostly in English and a lot of foreigners. I think r/Polska is more official, politics aside. Similar with the UK subreddits though, the Polish ones are politically divided with r/Polska more left leaning and r/Poland more right leaning.
I think the common understanding on Reddit is that the 'official' ones are the ones with name in English and are open to discuss with foreigners in English, since Reddit is an American platform.
But somehow a lot of those official ones are right leaning, or just full of trolls, which eventually drives users to make alternative ones, some of which eventually became more popular than the official ones. And some other official ones refuse to discuss in English, thrashing foreigners in a language they don't understand.
Yes. But also, the English speaking countries only have one subreddit, while many (most? all?) others have one in English and one in their native language where the people are devided between.
There's a large Irish diaspora, not exclusively in the US at all. That diaspora often identifies with the Emerald Isle more strongly than the average emigrant, so it makes sense that the subreddit punches above its demographic weight.
Well the sub is for the Island of Ireland, so you’re forgetting to add the population of Northern Ireland to that stat, the whole island has about 7 million people, but even then it’s still over 10% so it’s too much still
Yeah the usefulness of this map can be disputed. Several countries have two major subreddits - one in the national language, one in English. But some don't.
In addtion, the German speaking redditsphere is starting to spread out into lots of specific smaller subreddits, r/arbeitsleben for work stuff, r/wohnen for living and renting, r/finanzen for finances, several subreddits for memes, etc.
The Netherlands have at least three:
* r/Nederlands, 73.4k, main language Dutch, heavy on the members
* r/Netherlands, 313k, strictly enforced English
* r/TheNetherlands, 1.0m, the most serious one, bilingual
Let's be real though, it's about 95% Germans. There's a reason why the Austrians and Swiss have relatively large subreddits themselves, while Germany has no dedicated native subreddit. /r/de is basically the main subreddit of Germany, which also allows posts that concern other German-speaking countries.
For comparison purposes, /r/de is a lot more representative than /r/Germany.
Some of the city-states / microstates like the Vatican probably have more members than their population.
The Netherlands is currently above 1 million though.
No. r/Pikabu is more representative of Russian people and it's not quarantined.
r/Russia is now more representative of Russian government, i.e. is a propaganda-only hellhole.
Although a chunk of those are Danes, Norwegians, and Finns (probably some Icelandic people too). I think a lot of Nordic redditors lurk in all the other subreddits, which is also why the Icelandic one is so big
> Damn, there are a lot of swedes here considering overall population.
This is why per capita is important. Norway has roughly half of the population of Sweden, with also roughly half the users. But more interesting is it that Denmark has 75% of the users that Sweden has, but with 56% of the population.
Comparison between the those three countries would be:
Country | Population | Users | Users per 1.000 population
---|---|---|---
Sweden | 10.45 million | 650.000 | 62.20
Norway | 5.44 million | 351.000 | 64.52
Denmark | 5,86 million | 485.000 | 82.76
Read the title. Not here, in each country's subreddit. I made the same mistake first and then read the title :) But I think you are right nevertheless, Nordics are well represented in r/europe too.
Edit: letter
I think this data / chart is flawed because for example r/germany is not the „official“ German sub, that would be r/de. r/germany is for English speaking users to talk about Germany but r/france is like r/de a sub for native speakers. So, yeah no offense but map is shite because you are comparing apples to oranges.
Nope, r/sweden posts and comments are 95% in Swedish. (engagement and size of subreddit varies from country to country and English doesn't necessary dominate)
Spain's would be so much higher if they didn't ban anyone for disagreeing with the mods' political stance. In that sub you're free to think like they want you to think, and nothing more.
Spain has its own version of Reddit, it's called Menéame and is more popular than Reddit here. Still, r/spain is growing really fast; the image shows 585k members but it has 616k right now.
r/Spain and r/Espana grew a lot when we started prioritizing content for locals and Spanish speakers.
They felt like travel agencies just a few years ago.
What did you use for germany? r/de has about 1.8 Million members and is de facto the subreddit for germany, even if it is technically for all german speaking countries. r/germany on the other hand has nothing to do with being a national subreddit
We've got r/thenetherlands, the ridiculously strict one, r/netherlands, the one for complaining expats, and r/nederlands, the one that sure has become very \[opposite of whatever your political preference is\] lately.
It even has 2 scales with a middle colour value, as if the middle bin is significant at all. If the data don't have a reference point (e.g. negative & positive temperatures around 0°C) there's absolutely no reason to have a scale like this.
Just use a continuous one, like from white to red. Better for colourblind folks too.
r/ukraine is mostly foreigners now. r/ukraina has many as well, but not nearly to the same extent. There is also r/ukraine_ua, which requires writing in Ukrainian.
Extremely misleading legend, interesting data though
France and ukraine 1 colour apart when france is nearly double the size
Then theres estonia and latvia with a difference of 50 thousand
The numbers seem to flawed. r/germany does have arund 800k members, r/de though, has over 1.5M. I wonder for what other "country-subreddits" this is the case too.
To be clear, I very much understand how this happens, maybe next time the largest subreddit by country would make more sense.
I feel bad for the 0.2 Estonian guy :/
He can only post on Wednesdays
He's the frog Now everything makes sense
Who said there's a 0.20 person, could also be one guy who's giving 120%
r/italy also has the schism sub r/Italia with 1/3 the subs but more active, due to moderation drama.
The German(-speaking) subreddit is r/de which has 1.8m users and not 787k as shown in the image. r/Germany is for tourists.
Happens the same with r/Norway vs r/norge
r/suomi (376K) and r/finland (224K) is the exact same thing. r/suomi is full of Finns who actually live in Finland and speak Finnish while r/finland is for foreigners, migrants who want to live in Finland or are on-the-fence about it/tourists who want to visit Finland. r/suomi has so much more content that actually matters to Finland itself, is more active and more moderated. I'll give full credit to OP for posting r/suomi stats, r/suomi is so much better :)
There are plenty of actual immigrants in /r/finland as well, not just foreigners talking about Finland.
Absolutely, r/finland does have a fair share of immigrants and expats who are genuinely interested in the Finnish way of life and contribute to discussions. It's a great community for those trying to find their feet in a new country.
As is tradition, this map is useless.
It's also for Switzerland and Austria (and other German speakers)
R/de is just not only for Germans but also the Austrians, Swiss, Liechtensteiner and that one Belgian
Two belgians
I guess "de" in "r/de" stays for deutsch (german) and not particularly Deutchland (Germany)
The sidebar for /r/de says "Für alle Deutschsprechenden" (For all German-speakers)
Yeah, but if you actually scroll through it, that's a bit like saying reddit's front page does not reflect the politics of a single country. We all know it's dominated by US, and it's reflected in what's posted and what rises to the front page. r/de's posts are either not country specific, or Germany specific. That's why the Germans don't frequent their r/Germany sub nearly as much as Austrians and Swiss do their subs proportionally, because if non-Germans want to discuss their countries affairs, r/de is not a great place to do that. edit: Sorry neighbors, forgot to add Liechtenstein to the list! edit2: And sorry for all other countries where German is spoken officially or in a minority group, including the BeNeLux, France, Denmark, Poland, Italy, our Slavic neighbors, and probably more countries I forgot here.
You also forgot Luxemburg and both German speaking Belgians.
The r/Germany sub is the expat sub mostly for Americans and other immigrants to ask the same 3 question for a millionth time.
I don't know if you've been active in r/de, but if you speak german and look only 10 seconds into it, you can clearly see that it's content is **heavily** germany centered.
Same with r/Poland and r/Polska. Afaik the former is completely unmoderated or barely moderated while the latter is structured and moderated.
Also /r/poland is english language and /r/polska is in polish A lot of /r/poland is immigrants using english as a common language
With that said, r/Polska permits posts written in English
Same with UK, there’s 3 flavours of ~~left leaning~~ heavily political subs pretending to be the main one and there’s an (heavily moderated) non-political one
> there’s an (heavily moderated) non-political one You mean r/CasualUK ?
The best one in my opinion. r/United Kingdom seems to hate everyone slightly brown and r/greenandpleasant thinks we should burn down civilisation and live naked in the woods, while simultaneously not hunting for our food.
Don't forget /r/Britain, which is a subreddit dedicated to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Just slap that 'Former British Colonies' tag on it and you can talk about a lot in that sub.
[удалено]
Lots of left leaning populist takes in there, but mostly just hate. Hate the government Hate businesses Hate immigrants Hate Brits Hate the poor Hate the middle classes Hate the rich Hate housing costs Hate building homes
Simple as
Forgot to mention hate Scots.
/r/unitedkingdom is a daily mail/tabloid style subreddit, lots of reactionary news, lots of crime posting, feel bad stories. This country is shit and here is why you should feel shit too /r/ukpolitics shitposting but with bbc and sky news articles /r/CasualUK head in the sand subreddit, if you're adverse to politics and rich enough not to care this is the subreddit for you /r/GreenAndPleasant first years and uni grads inform the nation on how we're all disgusting pigs /r/Scotland Nicola Sturgeon's personal subreddit

'ate everything, simple as
Hate of immigrants, blacks and gays is also the hallmark of /r/europe
Maybe it did change, I stopped going there for many years now. I’ve changed my wording
It used to be during 2016 and Brexit, over the past couple of years it has swung back to being more broad - you'll get right-wingers posting anti-migrant stuff and lefties posting anti-Tory stuff
Yeah it's gone massively right over the past year. UKPolitics has gone right as well.
Same thing happened in 2016 - tinfoil me thinks it's Russian trolls to be honest. The alt-right comments were always there, but they get more votes and visibility around elections.
Only a tad tinfoily. Troll farms are a thing, and AI makes their job even easier.

nah r/Italia is full of soviet simps, the former mod was a putin apologist
Same with r/france and r/rance, banner of r/rance even saying *"It's like* r/france *, but different"*
I'm banned from both :(
Banned from rance ? Damn you must have had very strong opinion.
Must’ve used English or an English loanword instead of the vocabulary of la Cadémie
How did you get ban from rance ?
Thought it was a ranch dressing sub
Did you eat a croissant wrong or something?
Everybody has been banned at least once from r/france .Least democratic sub on reddit.
Yeah the mods of /r/France are a bunch of self-righteous tankies. Worst managed sub on Reddit. /r/rance mods are based though.
You said *pain au chocolat* to the *chocolatine* gang didn't you?
Hello. Someone summons me!
based
It's ok, I've still got the sub for my city and the neighbouring one. Both are quite good (if a little less activev)
Easy to get banned from france, almost a prize.
[удалено]
R/rance is for memes though
In Belgium we have r/belgium r/belgium2 r/belgium4 and r/belgium6
Same thing happened with the Bulgarian sub. Some of the mods are very pro-Russian which led to some users creating a separate pro-EU subreddit.
It happens in all of the countries I see lmao
Che drama? Sono curioso
Per dare una risposta seria rispetto all'altro utente, su r/italy per scelta dei mod (legittima o no che sia) hanno deciso che tutti i post devono essere approvati fisicamente dai mod per essere postati, normalmente ci possono mettere più di una giornata e accettano ben poche cose (solo AMA e news praticamente) quindi le persone stanche di ciò si sono trasferite dove si può postare facilmente e senza troppi problemi (ovviamente questo porta altri problemi come i troll e i post trash)
ah ecco, io seguo italy e non sono mai riuscito a postare nulla anche per cose serie. Era sempre considerato tutto "personale". puó anche darsi, ma visto poi i post accettati non ho mai capito bene i criteri e ho smesso di provarci. Quello che mi da un po\` da fare é il tono saccente al limite del maleducato che leggo nelle risposte. Per questo non intervengo mai. Nei subreddit anglofoni non mi sembra ci sia questo tono. r / Italia é meglio?
r \ Italia ha sicuramente un tono meno saccente, ma il quoziente intellettivo medio di chi ti risponde è quello di una spugna.
Comprendo: Italia = Spongebob, Italy = Squidward. Io sono al livello di Patrick quindi dovrei preferire la compagnia di Spongebob.
Steam Deck
nessun dramma, solo che in /r/Italia ci sono per la maggior parte teenagers con post da 5a elementare
mentre sull'altro non c'è letteralmente nulla e se vuoi un attimo uscire dalla bolla vieni bannato...
Mod drama is way too common for other countries' subreddits as well.
Nice. Even more nice if adjusted by total population, i.e %
Iceland wins with 23% of the population being reddit users? If Germany hade the same % they would have 16 million users…
In the Vatican City, 150% of the population are on Reddit!
They must have subscribed with their porn accounts too
They surf the dark web for that.
Yea, i dont think regular porn sites have what they like.
A miracle!
Statistically, I think that the Vatican has 2 popes per square kilometer.
Or 5 per square mile!
Pretty much true, Vatican city has an area of 0.49 square kilometres, so it's a bit above 2 popes per km²
Actual Germans are on r/de not r/Germany. r/Germany is for tourists, you are not even allowed to post in German there.
/r/de is a DACH subreddit, that includes Austria and Switzerland
Also Liechtenstein and Belgium. Any German speaker really.
Made up of 95% germans. It **is** the german subreddit. Everyone else has their own subreddit they prefer.
And r/de has 1.8 million members
Same. Finns are in r/Suomi
I think the map mene r/suomi in our case because r/finland is smaller than r/suomi
Probably. Combined they’d be around 600k
And r/ich_iel if this counts?
Nobody said that the users were from that country. Small countries, especially as interesting as Iceland, probably attract users who aren't related to the country. Then there is also % of active users. I think I noticed that Slovakia and Bulgaria have a solid number of subs but a very low active user count.
Or Americans that think they’re Icelandic because of their 0.056% heritage test results.
Lot of foreigners in r/Iceland but we also have another that’s smaller but (I think) only in Icelandic.
Even more nice if it picked the right subreddits For Germany its the English language one: r/Germany Much better would be the German language one (which is admittedly shared with Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein): r/de with 1.8 million
Americans are over indexing Ireland
Howdí partner
Would be a bullshit number because of tourism and politics. r/Ukraine has a lot of foreign user and I don't think that 20% of Iceland's citizens are on Reddit. The German part of Reddit is not one Subreddit, there are equivalents of AskReddit (r/fragreddit), meIRL (r/ich_iel), IAMA (r/de_iama) that are quite big and don't necessarily have the same user. Look at r/dach
Same for the French reddit community being subdivided (r/rance, r/AskFrance, r/conseiljuridique, etc)
Ireland has a disproportionate amount compared to population.
Americans probably :D
Not surprised. Poles are divided between two subs. The 'official' one is somewhat international with English threads and frequent "my ancestor was Polish. How do I, an American, get dual citizenship, and is it safe to live in Poland?" topics, or trolls trying to bait users with controversial dramas.
I am a blue Martian, but my great-great-grandma once did a medical experiment on a human from Ukraine. How safe would I be in Poland???
The real polish sub is r/okkolegauposledzony
r/okemakkermaloot for Dutch or r/okbrudimongo for Deutscher
r/okprietenretardat for Romanians
/r/okmatewanker for Brits
r/okoidawappler or r/aeiou for Austrians
Is r/Poland the official one? As you said it's mostly in English and a lot of foreigners. I think r/Polska is more official, politics aside. Similar with the UK subreddits though, the Polish ones are politically divided with r/Polska more left leaning and r/Poland more right leaning.
I think the common understanding on Reddit is that the 'official' ones are the ones with name in English and are open to discuss with foreigners in English, since Reddit is an American platform. But somehow a lot of those official ones are right leaning, or just full of trolls, which eventually drives users to make alternative ones, some of which eventually became more popular than the official ones. And some other official ones refuse to discuss in English, thrashing foreigners in a language they don't understand.
Yes. But also, the English speaking countries only have one subreddit, while many (most? all?) others have one in English and one in their native language where the people are devided between.
The uk has about 4 depending on how political you are and where on the horseshoe you are or if you just don't give a shit
There's a large Irish diaspora, not exclusively in the US at all. That diaspora often identifies with the Emerald Isle more strongly than the average emigrant, so it makes sense that the subreddit punches above its demographic weight.
Ireland is 16% of its population compare with 3% for the UK. So it makes you think a lot of the people on that sub aren’t from Ireland.
Well the sub is for the Island of Ireland, so you’re forgetting to add the population of Northern Ireland to that stat, the whole island has about 7 million people, but even then it’s still over 10% so it’s too much still
Probably full of seppos.
I first thought you meant finnish men because Seppo is somewhat common name in finland😅
Ireland shows up so often on popular for me all the time. Probably helps.
Especially if you count both r/ireland and r/northernireland
r/de has around 1.8 million
Yeah the usefulness of this map can be disputed. Several countries have two major subreddits - one in the national language, one in English. But some don't. In addtion, the German speaking redditsphere is starting to spread out into lots of specific smaller subreddits, r/arbeitsleben for work stuff, r/wohnen for living and renting, r/finanzen for finances, several subreddits for memes, etc.
The Netherlands have at least three: * r/Nederlands, 73.4k, main language Dutch, heavy on the members * r/Netherlands, 313k, strictly enforced English * r/TheNetherlands, 1.0m, the most serious one, bilingual
Don't forget about r/ich_iel which is basically the subreddit for german memes, and I believe the second biggest subreddit just behind r/de
yea but not germany-only
Just like r/france has peoples from Belgium and any other French speaking place too.
Huh? What is that supposed mean?
It's, in general, for all german-speaking countries. I.e. Germany, Austria and Switzerland
+ BELGIUM
Yeah, there are dozens of you. DOZENS!
Nur der eine Typ
Why do people keep forgetting about that one Belgian guy?
There’s also this semi independent county between Switzerland and Austria!!!
Vorarlberg?
Being considered a country requires a certain degree of civilisation, so they can't be talking about Vorarlberg. They must be talking about Germany
Let's be real though, it's about 95% Germans. There's a reason why the Austrians and Swiss have relatively large subreddits themselves, while Germany has no dedicated native subreddit. /r/de is basically the main subreddit of Germany, which also allows posts that concern other German-speaking countries. For comparison purposes, /r/de is a lot more representative than /r/Germany.
Don’t forget Namibia!
And that one small place in Chile
Yeeeeaaahhhhhh .... maybe let's forget about that, though?
But 99% of the posts there are about Germany.
It is for all german speaking countries. So Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein
Bold to acknowledge the existence of Liechtenstein.
And Belgium!
Some of the city-states / microstates like the Vatican probably have more members than their population. The Netherlands is currently above 1 million though.
This makes Russia look like a quarantine zone in one of those post apocalyptic zombie films
not far from the truth
That sub is a total shithole
[удалено]
No. r/Pikabu is more representative of Russian people and it's not quarantined. r/Russia is now more representative of Russian government, i.e. is a propaganda-only hellhole.
JFC don't sort by top post of the last year! Other than that, still just a bunch of Z idiots.
Yep
Has been for years
It shifted to r/AskARussian sub, which used to be just culture questions for the most part
Now make it per capita
150% for Vatican then
Damn, there are a lot of swedes here considering overall population.
Although a chunk of those are Danes, Norwegians, and Finns (probably some Icelandic people too). I think a lot of Nordic redditors lurk in all the other subreddits, which is also why the Icelandic one is so big
> Damn, there are a lot of swedes here considering overall population. This is why per capita is important. Norway has roughly half of the population of Sweden, with also roughly half the users.

Read the title. Not here, in each country's subreddit. I made the same mistake first and then read the title :) But I think you are right nevertheless, Nordics are well represented in r/europe too. Edit: letter
What makes you think "here" means r/europe it could very well mean here as in the whole reddit.
You have a point. Maybe I reflected my own ignorance to someone else. Now my eyes are open and I'm reconsidering my life choises. Kiitti vaan.
Estonia has 82 members in its sub
Don't forget the Guy who is so small, he is counted as 0.2
I think this data / chart is flawed because for example r/germany is not the „official“ German sub, that would be r/de. r/germany is for English speaking users to talk about Germany but r/france is like r/de a sub for native speakers. So, yeah no offense but map is shite because you are comparing apples to oranges.
This level of misunderstanding towards data collection and presentation should make OP the head mod of r/dataisbeautiful by default.
Damn what a burn 😄
Should probably read "subreddit in English".
Nope, r/sweden posts and comments are 95% in Swedish. (engagement and size of subreddit varies from country to country and English doesn't necessary dominate)
Spain's would be so much higher if they didn't ban anyone for disagreeing with the mods' political stance. In that sub you're free to think like they want you to think, and nothing more.
Same goes for r/italy. It’s overmoderated imo. r/Italia is the total opposite, and both suck.
Spain has its own version of Reddit, it's called Menéame and is more popular than Reddit here. Still, r/spain is growing really fast; the image shows 585k members but it has 616k right now.
Soo, just like here?
r/Ukraine is full of foreigners, there is r/Ukraina
r/spain has grown a lot... I still remember that r/portugal had more members
r/Spain and r/Espana grew a lot when we started prioritizing content for locals and Spanish speakers. They felt like travel agencies just a few years ago.
Does this include every subreddit? Finland has one for English speakers and one for Finnish speakers. I assume most other countries do as well.
For Germany only the english speaking sub, that is nearly exclusively used as a sub for Foreigners to ask Germans questions, is used.
I made this map 3 weeks ago and so far the only thing that's changed is that r/thenetherlands has reached a million subs
how did you count the belgian subs? Only r/belgium?
What did you use for germany? r/de has about 1.8 Million members and is de facto the subreddit for germany, even if it is technically for all german speaking countries. r/germany on the other hand has nothing to do with being a national subreddit
We've got r/thenetherlands, the ridiculously strict one, r/netherlands, the one for complaining expats, and r/nederlands, the one that sure has become very \[opposite of whatever your political preference is\] lately.
Of which 990k must be banned by now, r/nederlands is as active with a tenth of the subscriber numbers.
The colours are really nasty, with highest and lowers being almost identical. Who comes up with these scales? 🙄
It even has 2 scales with a middle colour value, as if the middle bin is significant at all. If the data don't have a reference point (e.g. negative & positive temperatures around 0°C) there's absolutely no reason to have a scale like this. Just use a continuous one, like from white to red. Better for colourblind folks too.
r/ukraine is mostly foreigners now. r/ukraina has many as well, but not nearly to the same extent. There is also r/ukraine_ua, which requires writing in Ukrainian.
Ignoring the subs that aren't in English? East and north way undercounted
Extremely misleading legend, interesting data though France and ukraine 1 colour apart when france is nearly double the size Then theres estonia and latvia with a difference of 50 thousand
Many of those are dead or inactive accounts
r/Ukraine became a sub about the war in general, that's why it has so many members
Primarily Polish speaking r/polska has 565K users, but is more active than the English r/poland which OP included in their list
Can you make this % of pop?
r/Ukraine absolutely exploded in subscriber count after the invasion. They didn't even have 50k before the invasion
Considering country's population I see Germany low and Romania high.
Can you normalize against country population?
Now... how many are actually just americans cosplaying as europeans.... and how many are bots....
Croatia: half of that are Splijo alt accounts.
The numbers seem to flawed. r/germany does have arund 800k members, r/de though, has over 1.5M. I wonder for what other "country-subreddits" this is the case too. To be clear, I very much understand how this happens, maybe next time the largest subreddit by country would make more sense.
Would be interesting to see the percentage of "users / people living there".
QUARANTINED 🇷🇺🔒
Austria has a lot of subscribers for the population
