    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.

    not() is a base function that negates what’s inside (turning True to False and vice versa) giving it no parameter returns “True” (because no parameter counts as False)

    Actually, not is an operator. It makes more sense if you write not() as not () - the () is an empty tuple. An empty tuple is falsy in Python, so not () evaluates to True.
