The women + other to men ratio is a bit lower than I’d expect but roughly (very roughly) in line with what I see at work (tech field). Still sad to see this being such a male dominated field.
We are not usually that far ahead of the UK (if even, depending on the sub there were even more UK participants), and certainly not higher than UK and Canada combined ;)
Wow, only 44 women and 25 other selfhosting, vs 1,726 males. That seems extreme.
And while I knew Germany has a strong selfhosting culture, I did not expect us to reach 2nd with as many users as UK (#3) and Canada (#4) combined.
Also surprised that a 5th of selfhosters don’t work in a technical field.
- Option A or Option B?
Yes!
Well, yes, I do prefer manual or automatic updates. No updates is lame ;)
“No”: I am doing it without preferring it…
:-)

It’s still surprisingly low. At the local university around 20% of computer science students are women.
It’s probably this combined with the overall lower amount of women on internet forums compared to men.
I really hope this changes as it’s always better to have a more diverse group of people.
Even when I studied C.Sc almost two decades ago, we had a higher percentage of women.
Germany is one of the biggest countries for reddit too, so I’m not surprised that this is also true for lemmy.

You’re right, I just looked up the numbers. Depending on the statistic, Germany isn’t even in the top 10.
