    German here. It is indeed one user who missed pizza day today at work, posting many pizza memes in a short time.

    The German community on Lemmy is rebuilding at the moment as their main server feddit.de was abandoned by its admin. Now the communities are slowly transitioning over to feddit.org. During that process, single users can be largely overrepresented until the communities found a balance.

    I am not sure but I think you can disable certain languages somewhere in your user settings, so that German communities should not reach you anymor3.

      American here. I love the German meme communities if even I don’t always understand the joke. Thanks for letting us know how you guys are doing and I hope everyone lands safely in the new server.

      It’s fine I actually like seeing all the posts from Germany and France and the UK, it was just weird to see the same meme show up so many times with no explanation lol

        (Not so) fun fact: his posts actually worked. Not in the way that he got pizza day back, but in the way that I ordered some. I wasn’t even that hungry >.<

      Sad to hear. As a German living in the Ausland for many decades its nice to see the Germans chat on here. Good luck with the transition.

      Didn’t realize it was happening, is there a post somewhere about it that I can link people to?
