@harry_wood This is not scientific for sure! I’d also guess that French and German people are more likely to boost it.

@mehdi_benadel Good point! I added an explanation.

@irina More than one native language, nice! Checkboxes would work well in some ways, but you’d also get the wrong impression that there are more people. That is, I hadn’t even considered using checkboxes, but I don’t see either approach as a clear winner.

You checking “English” would work, too, I think.

It’s also remarkable how many people speak “Other”! 🙈

EDIT: I was trying to make a joke by pretending “Other” was a language. But that clearly didn’t work. 😬

I expected the Fediverse to have many English & German speakers and had read that it was popular in France. I wanted to check these assumptions via a survey and my instance only lets me create four options. Beyond that, I didn’t know what to expect but the replies to my initial post show just how linguistically diverse the Fediverse is!

What language do you speak best? (Hypothesis: There are many French & German speakers in the Fediverse.)

Boosts appreciated!

Has anyone used #Meshtastic (*)? What are your experiences? What range do you get? (I’m especially curious about Germany, in cities and in rural regions.)
