Grabbing that for future reference. That’s the stats from 2024? Is there like a link to the actual source? Significantly more US-centered then I thought, especially since one would assume the numbers were even more skewed 5-10 years ago.
Lemmy is much more weighted towards an international userbase in my experience, which can be frustrating for the American audience at times, but also has its benefits.
They’ve got US traffic listed around 51% for December 2024, so it’s actually gone up significantly compared to the March 2023 figures cited by world population review

Doesn’t seem like a super reliable source. I just grabbed the first result I googled.
I got it from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1bg323c/oc_reddit_traffic_by_country_2024/
It lists worldpopulationreview.com on the image.
There this statista link which has similar numbers and sounds more detailed, but still doesn’t have sources available. Google’s AI points to statista.
So nothing definitive. But I certainly expect that most users are from the US.
You inspired me to do a bit more digging. I found the page on world population review.

Which lists this site as the true source. Looks pretty legit to me. Seems to be a paid service.

Went from 2.32 billion US visits in March 23 to 3.17 billion in December 24, while Indian visitors actually declined significantly in the same period.
Less than half, that actually surprises me. I honestly assume most people I meet online are Yanks.
I could see the numbers being a little different for Lemmy, but I don’t expect that they’re wildly different.
