Just to give another perspective, the German part of the internet is still full of extremely niche bulletin board-style forums for every hobby/technology imaginable. Many have millions of posts and have been online for 20+ years. Seems to me like it's mostly the English-speaking web that's been affected by these large content aggregators and closed platforms like Discord.
Would that be why there seems to be so much Deutschposting on platforms like Mastodon and Lemmy?
That could very well be. The instances are privately run, have small and personal communities and are often tech-focused so they meet pretty much all the criteria to be popular with Germans lol
