  • I just wanted to mention that too small instances can also be a problem: They’re often not maintained very well. I experienced that the German community on “feddit dot de” was abandoned and I was annoyed about it, so that I was searching for a stable instance. Therefore, I switched to lemmy.world but now I think: meanwhile the German community is stable at feddit.org.

    But I don’t know why I now should move away from lemmy.world. I think the user base has to grow a little bit more. For me there is not really that much content in German, if so, then I would consider changing.




  • The wrong use of “der/die/das” in German does not really bother. Everyone will understand the sentence if it’s done wrong. Since there is no rule to be derived as to how to use the article correctly, you simply have to learn it with the word itself like in other languages, too. (Why is a car a “female” in French? “La voiture” - I won’t ever understand, also in Swedish: “en” or “ett” words eg. “vatten” .) There are some rules in German, like ending on “-er” is often a “male” word, but not consistent… It’s only a clue. But sometimes it doesn’t matter at all: “der Joghurt”, “die Joghurt”, “das Joghurt” - all genders are correct, so just try. 😂
