>I'd be interested in seeing stats on social media adoption in Germany, because my hypothesis is that they lag the rest of the world.

Not only do they lag in general, but I also remember a study which showed that in Germany higher education levels are associated with significantly less social media use, while it's quite the opposite in the rest of the world.

That's true. The fastest growing social network within German universities was an anonymous one. This is opposed to the USA, where Facebook was the fastest growing network based on the ideal of knowing exactly what classes Y person on your campus went to.

Does that social network still exist, and can you share its name please?

Jodel https://jodel-app.com/

I had it installed for a few days once. I decided to uninstall it because it took too much attention (there are MANY users in Berlin) and I kind of felt too old. The typical user is a student in the first few semesters.
