Oh for sure. When I joined, servers and communities dedicated to specific countries or even cities had a bit of activity. Used to see a lot of German, Austrian, french, Dutch, Australian and NZ content in my feed. Now only the Germans and Australians, sometimes.

Aussies are just Yanks slathered in vegemite :D

See, I always imagined Aussies as redneck brits, but somehow more approachable and friendly. But as they are quite literally on the other side of the world, I haven't interacted with enough Aussies to confirm or deny such prejudice.

You guys really as friendly as my imagination suggests?

Yeah, pretty friendly i think. Kiwis and Canadians might be friendlier, but we are close.

From my limited experience, kiwis and Canadians are friendly in a more polite/well-mannered way, Aussies are friendly in a more, errr, "colourful" way.

The Dutch are usually pretty good at announcing their presence, as they will flock to anything even remotely associated with their country. Just look at the comments on a Not Just Bikes video and you'll see for yourself.

They're also massive shitposters, so expect to find them in the less serious parts of the fediverse.

Both provide great strategies to pull them out of hiding.
