I'd say 19% of users here are from the United States, 10% from Canada, 41% from the United Kingdom, 13% from Australia, 11% from Romania, and 6% from the rest of the world.

I am part of the 19% that are from the United States.

Crazy estimates! Where'd you grab these?

PalomoPlays  ·  4073 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I used Alexa.com and based the percentages off reddit and Hubski. It's only speculation, though. I'm just hoping somehow the actual statistics are revealed to see how close I am.

That's actually really neat. I didn't realise the UK made up such a large majority.

From what I can tell about "active" contributors to discussions, it's 19% Detroit. 35% North Carolina (thenewgreen) and 25% California (kleinbl00) As for 10% Canada, that's mostly theadvancedapes who is very active on these pages. He's from Toronto, but currently - what ho? in Brussels. It must be Tuesday.

Cheers. Pretty insane how individual users are making up percentages.

That's just lil's humor. I can assure you that four users don't make up 90% of posts.

Ha, it went straight over my head. I think it was somewhat believable due to the fact that my feed is made up of only a few people. Still working out the site!

Sorry about that. I'll try to be more serious. It all depends who populates your feed I guess. There's dark and dirty corners of hubski that I never visit. For example, any tags that say #reddit never enter my feed. I also muted #circlejerk - I've always found that term kind of creepy.

That's 'cuz mk & thenewgreen have this idea that you should follow people, rather thank tags and I think if you look up "popular" on the page you end up following those who already have too many followers.

By way of perspective I'm following three people, but like 20 tags.

I actually didn't know you were from California as well. What part?

kleinbl00  ·  4050 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Not from. In. LA. From New Mexico by way of Puget Sound.

I'm all for following tags, I think it's a great way to discover people. In my opinion the best way to use the site would be to follow a good number of tags that interest you and then begin introducing people to your feed.
