My lemmy users per capita guess: 1. Russia 2. Finland. I can understand Russia cause developers are from there but why Finland?

The reason we use english online so much is because when you search the web for something in finnish your top results will include vauva.fi forums (vauva = baby, used to be a magazine with a forum. Now only the forums persist). You find so much more information searching in english.

To be fair I once got an answer to my question on the baby forums about changing oils in my car from that forum.
