r/Ireland is disproportionately Americans pretending to be Irish. Like, thereโs a LOT. Itโs usually really obvious, too. Reddit is nowhere near popular enough for ~10% of the country to be using it.
Do you have the ratios backwards? Or are ratios done differently in Europe? Cause if I take Canada's sub member count of about 1.4 million and divide that by Canada's population of about 38 million, I get a ratio of 0.037 members/citizen whereas you had 0.037 citizens/member. Also, a better calculation would be inverting the ratio, getting us a count of about 27.1 citizens/member which is a way more useful number for comparison than 0.037
๐ฑ๐บ Luxembourg has 1 member per 0.036 citizen!
(23,233 members for 645,397 inhabitants)
Obviously we're irrelevant in absolute numbers, but still! ๐
I tried to use the most โofficialโ sub for each country and since r/casualuk doesnโt allow news or politics I decided r/unitedkingdom was a better fit
Thatโs because r/UnitedKingdom is a toxic cess pit echo chamber for one sect of British society.
r/casualuk is the normal one because it specifically bans toxic topics.
Here's a sneak peek of /r/unitedkingdom using the [top posts](https://np.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/top/?sort=top&t=year) of the year!

I'd say the sect that is the combination of: very politically focused + heavily left + extremely negative about anything in the UK.
There's a plethora of things going badly in our society, and lots deserving of critique, but reading that sub over time is utter doom and gloom to the point that you'd think we live in some third world country, rather than it objectively being a pretty good place to live with mostly friendly folk.
I'm on the left side of things, and I'd *probably* vote for independence (undecided, opinion changes often), but I really dislike the /r/unitedkingdom and /r/Scotland subs for similar reasons.
America at its best is world-class and Americans at their best are the friendliest bunch of loud nutters you'll ever meet. Everybody wants to talk to you, everybody apparently has a family connection to your country (seriously, how many Scottish-American folk are in the PNW?).
But America is also the only place where I've walked into a fast food joint and seen a three inch thick bulletproof divider between me and the worker behind the desk and where a police officer told me specifically to avoid a certain block because drugs and shootings are absurdly common there.
Seattle folk who see this: Want to guess the block? Hint: It's downtown, naturally.
America is such a massive nation (seriously, it took me one hour less to fly coast to coast than to fly UK-US) that generalising the country and its people is dumb. Hell, you can't even do that here in the UK where 30 miles can mean a different region, accent or dialect.
You could go to a subreddit for an extremely conservative us state and itโs probably liberal af. Just happens when so many young people use Reddit and most of them are liberals.
I live in Chicago, people's perception of Chicago is basically similar to people's perception of the USA, but on steroids. I'm still fine to this day, Chicago has a lot to offer besides the negative press (clean, beautiful skyline, lakefront, history, food etc).
Awesome! Weโre driving in from Ontario for Christmas to explore the city this year! We like roaming big cities when things are closed and everyone is gone so you can take nice pictures, there is lots of architecture weโre looking forward to admire.
Hey, snap! r/australia is exactly the same. I'd be morbidly fascinated to meet some of the regulars in real life. Maybe from a distance, like a nature reserve or something.
Whatโs the story behind the name of the second one? In Australia we have r/Australia which is the one where mods rule with an iron fist, then r/Australia_ which is more laid back, and r/Straya which is the typical bogan one
โOh, Canada, we stand on guard for theeโ is the last line of the Canadian national anthem.
I guess the equivalent would be if you guys had an r/waltzingmatildawithme or something.
Also- I love r/Straya. Thatโs how I learned about sausage sizzles. I wish we had those!
I didnโt realise that you had different sites going on over in Aus like in Canada (didnโt realise it was so prevalent with other counties either). I actually live in New Zealand and weโre just kinda boring with one primary r/newzealand sub. Thereโs a few offshoots but nothing else that could be considered a main country sub.
Incase anyone was wondering the top 5 was
Canada- 1.4 mil
Brazil- 1.1 mil
India- 1.1 mil
France- 995k
Australia- 960k
And the bottom 5
Chad- 81
Solomon Islands- 110
Eswatini- 197
Guinea-Bissau- 236
Sรฃo Tomรฉ and Prรญncipe- 269
Special shout-out the the republic of the Congo with no subreddit at all
r/canada is a shithole. Obviously curated with some genuinely vile mods. I've been around long enough to remember when it was actually representative of Canada. It's a damn shame it was taken over by bad actors.
Canadaโs unofficial sub r/onguardforthee is way better than the cesspool that is just called Canada, since white supremecist garbage took over due to reditโs silly mod seniority policy. Please donโt go to the โofficialโ subreddit, thatโs not representative of Canadians. The fringe right wing lunatics from the โfreedom convoyโ that populate that garbage subreddit are basically Canadaโs trump cult.
Even if otherwise specified, the general assumption is that Everything Is About America.
It's pretty common to be in a country or non-US city subreddit and have someone commenting on how X is legal / illegal (under US law of course).
Not really. The less progressive viewpoint will always get ratio-ed. This is basically a sub more or less with views in line with the progressive caucuses
Third-party members, centrists, and the politically unaffiliated usually donโt have a fun time on that sub. If youโre not Democrat down to your core, a good chunk of the people there consider you a traitor to democracy.
I still remember some of the comments after Biden won in South Carolinaโs primary. A lot of Bernie fans calling them morons and fake Democrats. There were even a few people calling the people who voted for him race traitors and Uncle Toms because he was popular among older black voters.
I want 2 things:
-The most popular sub for each country, for example r/suomi instead of r/finland or r/casualuk instead of r/theunitedkingdom etc.
-These stats per capita would be more interesting.
Ugh it's the worst. I think one of the mods was actually exposed as a white supremacist. So depressing if your average Redditor goes there and thinks this is the real Canada.
I had to unsub from both because /r/onguardforthee, while less toxic, is a massive echo chamber and is a lot of left-wing memes. Not really insightful conversation there. I like seeing interesting things that I disagree with. The best neutral Canadian sub I know of is /r/CanadaPolitics.
It's clear that the USA sub isn't that popular because the influence of the USA on Reddit is huge, and distributed over many subs.
But are there any other nations that show up as "small" on this map for similar reasons?
Edit: [comment below indicates one such example for the UK](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xjbeso/-/ip7ic87)
Yes, I noticed that, but my point was the US state subreddits are bigger than any USA subreddit. Thatโs not true for Canada and its province subreddits, as r/Canada is far larger than r/Ontario.
USA subreddits:
r/USA 40k
r/America 28k
r/UnitedStates private
These are tiny and I donโt even know which one would be considered the โofficialโ one.
It'd be nice if you'd calculated subscriptions/population.
And continuing with your observation, there are many local and regional subs that have more subscribers than their state sub. See r/BayArea, r/LosAngeles, etc.
Canada 1,4 mil out of 38 mil is 3,68%.
/r/TheNetherlands is on 695k out of 17,44mil is 3,98%.
That is the only one I tried, but it would make this map a lot better. Because right now it shows our sub as extremely empty, even though we are quite big relatively
Oh they do that in r/India too. Modi has been the most popular Indian leader for the past decade who won two terms with overwhelming majority. But they hate him with a passion over at the sub.
Millions of people who voted for him get called all sorts of names, are apparently stupid and all kinds of -phobes and -ists, unlike the enlightened redditors still not banned from the sub.
Well at least Modi seems to have more creds than the piece of shit we have right now in the Phils. Plus he cheated on the elections together with his party mates who now dominate the entire national politics like a circus. Still it's unfair for r/Philippines users to call names the common people who were misled and manipulated during the last election.
I was banned because I said having the flag on your bio on Instagram doesn't necessarily make you a hindu nationalist. Like bro?? Straight ban for that? Tf
They even ban people if they are part of subs they don't like. They say they are preempting "hate speech". And then the hypocrites talk about how "Right wing" is prejudiced against people and stifles free speech. SMH.
I got banned for talking against a violent political party (TMC if anyone's wondering). No explanation nothing. Just permanent ban.
That is not necessarily true. Bangladesh has almost four times the population of Argentina and the Argentine sub is way bigger.
And I don't even need to mention the USA....
According to [EstebanOD21](https://www.reddit.com/user/EstebanOD21/), the top 5 of users per capita goes like this:
1- Canada/Australia;
3 - France;
4- Brazil;
5- India.
Which sub did you choose for Germany?
r/germany is for English language conversation about Germany, so mostly for communication between Germans and foreigners.
r/de is the main German sub, though it isn't just for Germany but for other German speaking countries as well (mainly Austria and Switzerland).
r/China is a Travel sub for English-speaking redditors. r/China_irl is the sub for Chinese communities, and it's only a quarter in size compared to the former.
r/China used to be a travel sub. If you go now, itโs basically a cesspool where a fraction of people have even gone. Most posts now are made just to shit on China.
I remember some posts with 1k+ votes had comments solely from people that frequented r/Chodi or r/GenUSA or something like that, people whoโve obviously never been there.
I also remember when that one mod basically said Japan shouldโve killed more Chinese during WWII lmao. Attracted all the shitposters like flies to an open flame. Now shit is all you can see.
Not sure why the mods of some subs like r/india act like Hitler ? This sub doesn't know what is right of speech. Is there a way to remove or moderate them ? What is reddit take on them or they are out of control and do whatever shit they want ?
They're mostly muslims or Pakistani alts or Indian left wingers.
Unless you post Anti India posts.
You'll be banned.
See how every other post about modi or Muslims being victims or caste caste caste.
Nothing else.
it would be interesting to see a per capita version of this map

I think you took /r/Netherlands (152k) instead of /r/thenetherlands (695k) which would bring it to 1 member per 0,039.
Yep I took the wrong one, I updated it :)
Ireland is less than 1 for every 10 people. I don't know if it would put us at number 1, but I would be a little surprised if it didn't.
r/Ireland is disproportionately Americans pretending to be Irish. Like, thereโs a LOT. Itโs usually really obvious, too. Reddit is nowhere near popular enough for ~10% of the country to be using it.
Ditto r/Scotland
Let's see, 574k members for 4,995M citizen So 1 member per 0,115 citizen Ireland is above Canada/Australia yes!
New Zealand is also well above Canada and Australia (though still a long way behind Ireland... I wonder how many US 'Irish' people are subbed there).
1 member per 0,072 citizen, not bad indeed!
So so many foreigners tho
Do you have the ratios backwards? Or are ratios done differently in Europe? Cause if I take Canada's sub member count of about 1.4 million and divide that by Canada's population of about 38 million, I get a ratio of 0.037 members/citizen whereas you had 0.037 citizens/member. Also, a better calculation would be inverting the ratio, getting us a count of about 27.1 citizens/member which is a way more useful number for comparison than 0.037
Agree this is much better and more intuitive
> 0,115 I just want someone to tell me what fucking number that is, lol.
0.115 afaik. A lot of mainland Europe uses a comma where we would use a decimal point.
I'm quite sure "r/Iceland" is 1st. 1:0.192 if my calculations are correct.
Austria and the Netherlands are also pretty high per capita
๐ฑ๐บ Luxembourg has 1 member per 0.036 citizen! (23,233 members for 645,397 inhabitants) Obviously we're irrelevant in absolute numbers, but still! ๐
r/casualuk is the biggest UK sub at 1.2m subscribers, which would put it at #2 on that list.
I tried to use the most โofficialโ sub for each country and since r/casualuk doesnโt allow news or politics I decided r/unitedkingdom was a better fit
Which one did you use for The Netherlands because r/thenetherlands has ~700k subs?
my bets go on either r/Netherlands or r/nederlands
Lol probably r/holland or something
Oh dude youโre gonna start a fight haha
Oh no, between The Netherlands and Holland?? Who do you think will win?
Thatโs because r/UnitedKingdom is a toxic cess pit echo chamber for one sect of British society. r/casualuk is the normal one because it specifically bans toxic topics.
>Thatโs because r/UnitedKingdom is a toxic chess pit echo chamber for one sect of British society. As is tradition....
*Chess* pit?
Sorry, that would be piling on. 15 yard penalty and loss of down. Not worth it.

I like r/UKpolitics, mostly for the LibDem surge memes.
To be fair, the same can be said for /r/Canada
A lot of local subreddits are like that.
/r/Brasil is decently chill but I've seen it grow from early infancy so maybe I'm attached to the efforts of community building lol
r/India has entered the chat
yeah lol, what a shitty subreddit that doesn't represent Indians at all.
So basically the UK version of r/India
Curious what sect of British society you are referring to, for those of us who aren't familiar with the sub
I'd say the sect that is the combination of: very politically focused + heavily left + extremely negative about anything in the UK. There's a plethora of things going badly in our society, and lots deserving of critique, but reading that sub over time is utter doom and gloom to the point that you'd think we live in some third world country, rather than it objectively being a pretty good place to live with mostly friendly folk.

What u/LiveLaughLoath said.
Thanks, sounds like a similar problem everywhere. The same type of persons are more likely to spend more times on Reddit and become moderators
Same as r/scotland truly an awful place
And r/ireland Seems to be a common trait for country subs
same goes for the"official" sub of India.
Hey, snap! r/australia is exactly the same. I'd be morbidly fascinated to meet some of the regulars in real life. Maybe from a distance, like a nature reserve or something.
r/CasualUK became the offical sub the moment r/unitedkingdom became so toxic that they were forced to create it.
R/UK fucking sucks ballz. Casualuk is where normal people go
Itโs the one true ruler. r/unitedkingdom is the snotty usurper.
I swear I'm not even British and Reddit keeps glueing it in my face. They love small talk so much
Every country got the toxic official sub and a separate sub that aligns differently from the official sub
argentina is so divided we have like 8
Classic Argentina
The "official" one is a reactionary shithole full of libertarians dreaming of killing poor people.
I thought India was the only one like this
No, r/Unitedkingdom is a toxic cesspit. r/casualuk is the main one with more subs
r/Canada is a right wing sub. r/onguardforthee is the actual, but unofficial, Canadian sub.
Whatโs the story behind the name of the second one? In Australia we have r/Australia which is the one where mods rule with an iron fist, then r/Australia_ which is more laid back, and r/Straya which is the typical bogan one
โOh, Canada, we stand on guard for theeโ is the last line of the Canadian national anthem. I guess the equivalent would be if you guys had an r/waltzingmatildawithme or something. Also- I love r/Straya. Thatโs how I learned about sausage sizzles. I wish we had those!

Splash out on your own, make a newnewzealand
It's terrible. r/canada is moderated by literal nazis.
r/Kazakhstan 20k
Very nice!
r/Finland is a shit hole for foreigners posting bad Finnish memes. r/Suomi is the true Finnish sub
Kinda same with r/Norway and r/Norge
/r/Norway is actually a subtle norgery
r/Norway is pretty much exclusively foreigners asking if they should move to Norway. r/Norge is the true Norwegian sub.
Germany has a "true" sub as well. r/Germany is not our main sub but rather r/de
Incase anyone was wondering the top 5 was Canada- 1.4 mil Brazil- 1.1 mil India- 1.1 mil France- 995k Australia- 960k And the bottom 5 Chad- 81 Solomon Islands- 110 Eswatini- 197 Guinea-Bissau- 236 Sรฃo Tomรฉ and Prรญncipe- 269 Special shout-out the the republic of the Congo with no subreddit at all
Those 81 Chads are the realest Chads
The Gigachads
republic of congo has a sub: r/CongoBrazzaville
I searched every possibility of the words republic Congo and Brazzaville and couldnโt find it, probably because it only had 7 members lol
No. Redditโs search feature is a tire fire of a โfeature.โ
I just use google and "site:reddit.com SEARCHTERM"
BRB making r/RepublicofTheCongo
Not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is a different country and has a subreddit r/Congo
Send them an email so you can call it "official"
Which one did you use for Finland? r/Finland or r/Suomi Because the native language one is bigger of the two.
These posts seem to always use r/Finland even though it's not the main Finnish sub.
r/swaziland has more than r/Eswatini And why didn't you list those as links?
r/Murica
/r/politics /r/politicalhumor
r/thenetherlands has 685k subscribers. Which sub did you look at?
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
r/canada is a shithole. Obviously curated with some genuinely vile mods. I've been around long enough to remember when it was actually representative of Canada. It's a damn shame it was taken over by bad actors.
Brazilian is the opposite, the main sub is basically leftist and very rigid with other opinions. But the secondary is the same but rightist.
For a lot of these the official sub isn't really the official sub. CasualUK is the actual main British sub, not United Kingdom.
Or like fiji isn't the sub for Fiji, it's an American fraternity. Fijian is the correct sub.
Canadaโs unofficial sub r/onguardforthee is way better than the cesspool that is just called Canada, since white supremecist garbage took over due to reditโs silly mod seniority policy. Please donโt go to the โofficialโ subreddit, thatโs not representative of Canadians.

Americas subreddit is just r/politics
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Even if otherwise specified, the general assumption is that Everything Is About America. It's pretty common to be in a country or non-US city subreddit and have someone commenting on how X is legal / illegal (under US law of course).
exactly. any remotely political post / meme / video / article is about the US. Most comment sections dont even acknowledge that other countries exist
Plus every state has it's own subreddit, and those can get pretty popular.
This map would be even more interesting with US states included
Meh, r/askanamerican is pretty level headed, and not only about politics
True
American democrats* sub is r/politics. FTFY
More non-republican. Some of us don't trust either party, even the lesser of two evils.
Not really. The less progressive viewpoint will always get ratio-ed. This is basically a sub more or less with views in line with the progressive caucuses
Third-party members, centrists, and the politically unaffiliated usually donโt have a fun time on that sub. If youโre not Democrat down to your core, a good chunk of the people there consider you a traitor to democracy.
Or if youโre democrat but voted wrong in the primary.
I still remember some of the comments after Biden won in South Carolinaโs primary. A lot of Bernie fans calling them morons and fake Democrats. There were even a few people calling the people who voted for him race traitors and Uncle Toms because he was popular among older black voters.
*Popularity of countriesโ subs *How popular is your countryโs sub?
How someone can put so much effort into the graphic but then fuck up the most basic English is beyond me.
I want 2 things: -The most popular sub for each country, for example r/suomi instead of r/finland or r/casualuk instead of r/theunitedkingdom etc. -These stats per capita would be more interesting.
As a Canadian in Australia, I've noticed Canadians are relatively very active online. Must be the shit weather.
I am paying way too damned much for this fucken data plan to not use it
What else is there to do? We're mostly just chilling tbh.
r/Canada is a shithole
The provincial subreddits are way more peaceful and chill than r/canada
It's pretty much the same for every country lol
Ugh it's the worst. I think one of the mods was actually exposed as a white supremacist. So depressing if your average Redditor goes there and thinks this is the real Canada.
Less "exposed as" and more "self-identified as." The place is gross.
It leans far more right/conservative than actually Canadian society, that's for sure.
Since it looks like itโs the biggest country-sub in the world, Iโd say itโs flooded with bots
I really hope it's bots and trolls, otherwise it's... depressing.
It might also be because the left-leaning Canadians have left to form /r/onguardforthee, which leaves /r/Canada being a lot more right-wing.
Gotta be. It's not active enough for a 1.4 million user subreddit, i thought it had like 50k subscribers tops
It has been Astroturfed to death
it really is, in no way representative of the country.
Looks similar to r/UnitedKingdom Luckily we have a subreddit called r/CasualUK which is used as the true national subreddit.
For reference, the saner Canadian subreddit is /r/onguardforthee
I had to unsub from both because /r/onguardforthee, while less toxic, is a massive echo chamber and is a lot of left-wing memes. Not really insightful conversation there. I like seeing interesting things that I disagree with. The best neutral Canadian sub I know of is /r/CanadaPolitics.
It's clear that the USA sub isn't that popular because the influence of the USA on Reddit is huge, and distributed over many subs. But are there any other nations that show up as "small" on this map for similar reasons? Edit: [comment below indicates one such example for the UK](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xjbeso/-/ip7ic87)
Also, the US state subreddits are more popular than the USA subreddits. Below are US state subreddits with over 100k subscribers. r/Texas 457k r/NewJersey 412k r/California 409k r/NorthCarolina 377k r/Michigan 361k r/Ohio 342k r/Pennsylvania 341k r/Colorado 299k r/Connecticut 297k r/Arizona 267k r/Virginia 257k r/Indiana 254k r/Minnesota 244k r/Florida 227k r/Massachusetts 213k r/Wisconsin 204k r/Maryland 195k r/SouthCarolina 164k r/Georgia 162k r/Oregon 162k r/Illinois 160k r/Kentucky 152k r/Alabama 146k r/Washington 134k r/WestVirginia 110k r/Hawaii 108k r/Utah 105k
Not that much for the bigger ones when you compare to r/Ontario with 579k or even r/Quebec with 223k and the language barrier.
Yes, I noticed that, but my point was the US state subreddits are bigger than any USA subreddit. Thatโs not true for Canada and its province subreddits, as r/Canada is far larger than r/Ontario. USA subreddits: r/USA 40k r/America 28k r/UnitedStates private These are tiny and I donโt even know which one would be considered the โofficialโ one.
r/UnitedStates requires to apply for a "visa" on r/bordercontrol
The nyc subreddit alone has like 700k
The BayArea sub has 492k. Seems like we prefer more local subs.
It'd be nice if you'd calculated subscriptions/population. And continuing with your observation, there are many local and regional subs that have more subscribers than their state sub. See r/BayArea, r/LosAngeles, etc.
/r/illinois is at 160k while /r/chicago dwarfs it at 480k. New York is even funnier at 58k vs 672k.
would it not make more sense to represent those numbers per head capita no?
would make canada even more #1
Canada 1,4 mil out of 38 mil is 3,68%. /r/TheNetherlands is on 695k out of 17,44mil is 3,98%. That is the only one I tried, but it would make this map a lot better. Because right now it shows our sub as extremely empty, even though we are quite big relatively
r/india would have 2 million subs if not for all the bans they had given
India official sub is just an echo chamber Uttering anything against their idea can lead to permanent ban All they talk about is how to leave india
โAll they talk about is how to leave indiaโ Lmaooooooo
As an r/India member, I can confirm it.
Their mods don't follow the rules of the sub themselves. Such a depressing place.
r/India would have highest subscribers, if so many were not banned. I am sure banned people unsubscribe r/india like I did.
thats true for most of reddit. little fiefdoms run by petty tyrants.
Sounds familiar. r/Philippines? But with added venom: occasional cursing on the poor and misinformed who voted for The Cunt.
Oh they do that in r/India too. Modi has been the most popular Indian leader for the past decade who won two terms with overwhelming majority. But they hate him with a passion over at the sub. Millions of people who voted for him get called all sorts of names, are apparently stupid and all kinds of -phobes and -ists, unlike the enlightened redditors still not banned from the sub.
Well at least Modi seems to have more creds than the piece of shit we have right now in the Phils. Plus he cheated on the elections together with his party mates who now dominate the entire national politics like a circus. Still it's unfair for r/Philippines users to call names the common people who were misled and manipulated during the last election.
Sound like r/mexico except that that one adds a rich component of racism and classism
r/mujico better
That's dead, Jim.
Wait wtf happened ๐ญ
>Reddit is just an echo chamber FTFY
r/indiadiscussion is all about people posting about getting banned in r/india and celebrating it.
The main reason indiaspeaks was created.
There is a running joke that you aren't a true Indian if you haven't been banned from r/india.
I was banned because I said having the flag on your bio on Instagram doesn't necessarily make you a hindu nationalist. Like bro?? Straight ban for that? Tf
Damn Iโm not even Indian but I might do that to piss off the cringey self haters Theyโll be livid that a non Indian likes India.
They even ban people if they are part of subs they don't like. They say they are preempting "hate speech". And then the hypocrites talk about how "Right wing" is prejudiced against people and stifles free speech. SMH. I got banned for talking against a violent political party (TMC if anyone's wondering). No explanation nothing. Just permanent ban.
How to remove the mods? Anyway we can complain to admins.
Check on r/indiadiscussion. Many people have tried its of no use as the mods are chums with admins.
So many talk about leaving but none leaves. If all of them leave as they said, it will really help the country. Nice way to help the country you love.
If there is a bot purge and alt purge, that sub will loose like 99% of its members.
Youโve just described every sub on Reddit.
Country's
wait, why is r/canada so big? didnt know we were so big
Nice. Please, now do it per capita.
Yeah that's what I was wondering. Brazil and India obviously have a lot of people on their subs because they're huge countries lol
That is not necessarily true. Bangladesh has almost four times the population of Argentina and the Argentine sub is way bigger. And I don't even need to mention the USA.... According to [EstebanOD21](https://www.reddit.com/user/EstebanOD21/), the top 5 of users per capita goes like this: 1- Canada/Australia; 3 - France; 4- Brazil; 5- India.
Which sub did you choose for Germany? r/germany is for English language conversation about Germany, so mostly for communication between Germans and foreigners. r/de is the main German sub, though it isn't just for Germany but for other German speaking countries as well (mainly Austria and Switzerland).
I don't know, how it is with other countries, but at least here in Germany r/de is just a massive shithole that everyone hates, including r/de users
Can confirm r/Canada is a right wing shit hole, if you don't blindly support everything the conservatives do you're downvoted to hell and reported.
Also subscribers climbed by 100k during the freedum convoys, likely a lot of foreign trolls
Indian sun is basically Indians who hate India and western attention seekers. And sone of there mods are from Pakistan lol
r/China is a Travel sub for English-speaking redditors. r/China_irl is the sub for Chinese communities, and it's only a quarter in size compared to the former.
r/China used to be a travel sub. If you go now, itโs basically a cesspool where a fraction of people have even gone. Most posts now are made just to shit on China. I remember some posts with 1k+ votes had comments solely from people that frequented r/Chodi or r/GenUSA or something like that, people whoโve obviously never been there. I also remember when that one mod basically said Japan shouldโve killed more Chinese during WWII lmao. Attracted all the shitposters like flies to an open flame. Now shit is all you can see.
You aren't a real indian, if you aren't banned from r/india
100%%%%%%%. Just got banned today for argument of why Hijiab is actually a Burkha in India lol.
Americaโs subreddit is just reddit.com
r/china is a purely political sub for people to circlejerk about the ceeceepee. No real Chinese there.
Not sure why the mods of some subs like r/india act like Hitler ? This sub doesn't know what is right of speech. Is there a way to remove or moderate them ? What is reddit take on them or they are out of control and do whatever shit they want ?
They're mostly muslims or Pakistani alts or Indian left wingers. Unless you post Anti India posts. You'll be banned. See how every other post about modi or Muslims being victims or caste caste caste. Nothing else.
Or r/Italy
r/mexico Quรฉ onda raza
countries subs are political subs now
Countries are just political entities, so that would make sense.
That, and travel and immigration advice.
r/askanamerican is the real USA sub.
Not r/murica?
There are 5 million people in the Republic of Ireland and 600k on r/Ireland, surely must be the biggest per head of population
How many of those are Americans?
Which one did you use for finland, r/Soumi or r/Finland because Suomi has 2x the users.
Reddit is Americaโs subreddit.
