    I’m also curious about the country distribution on lemmy.

    I’m a developer for an iOS Lemmy client. The distribution of our downloads by territory is as follows (sample size >18k):

    • 50.2% US
    • 9.9% Germany
    • 5.8% UK
    • 5.2% Canada
    • 3.5% Australia
    • 25.4% other

    Biases:

    • It only counts users who are using that specific app, which:
      • Is only available on iOS, so Android users aren’t counted. This could have a significant effect on the results because iOS has a much higher market share in the US than, say, Germany.
      • Could be ranked differently in App Store search results in different regions.
      • Only supported English, until very recently. Users who prefer a different language may have chosen an app that supports their language.
    • It includes users who downloaded the app but later stopped using Lemmy, which isn’t ideal.

    Back in 2023 lemmy.ca did a survey of their users, which you may find interesting.




















  • Mobile apps should allow you to log into any instance. My Lemmy client won’t connect to lemmy.rip either, and fails with the following error:

    The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “lemmy.rip”, which could put your confidential information at risk.
    

    This is also what I see when I try to connect to lemmy.rip in the browser:

    I am able to bypass this warning and see the site in the browser.
