That's depressing as fuck.

I'm sure a lot of us here can say that's the only one on the map we have

The Netherlands continues to be my top choice for a place to live if I end up fleeing my country. If they'll have me.

It's expensive. Don't forget to buy the floor for your apartment.

Edit: I'm serious about the floor. Apartments don't come with flooring included.

Loving Bulgaria. Everybody's doing social networks, meanwhile they're "ooh, a puzzle game!"

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago

Temu is more like a capitalism network than a social network, but yeah Chad Bulgaria playing tetris instead of giving into consumerism.

So the source page just doesn't exist. But https://mapsinterlude.wordpress.com/ does. When you visit it, this post is easily found, but do they list any of their sources? No. I checked a few sites that list top apps by country and just checked Denmark, because that's where I'm from and temu was #8.

Maxima Grupė UAB is a Lithuanian group of retail chain companies operating in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Bulgaria.

LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, ...

Serbia has an itchy delete finger, apparently.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 6 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Yeah, what's up with Latvia? Why would people mass-download a grocery store app? Besides, iki is better. At least it was 10 years ago. Do they still have iki?

People really use temu? I thought it was all crap.

Edit:

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 33 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is most downloaded not most used, so I'd reckon a lot of people heard about it, downloaded it, used it, realised it was all crap, then deleted it.

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

People would rather download the app to figure that out than just visit the website? That's still depressing.

But probably temu was like get 50% off your first order via the app or something like that?

Only Netherland and Bulgaria can be proud of themselves.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 30 points 3 weeks ago

Nobody can be as proud of themselves (because of this list I mean) as Lithuania: "LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, ..."

This can't be correct. No way people use Signal more than Whatsapp in NL. And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 32 points 3 weeks ago

It is the most downloaded app in 2024

I think most Dutchies already had Whatsapp installed prior to 2024.

Is Temu really that much cheaper compared to Aliexpress to be "worth it"?

[–] FMT99@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

They have better marketing

Swedish fintech for online payments. A lot of young people go into debts with their "shop now, buy later" function

Based Netherlands.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

pretty sure this is bullshit. have seen some other maps on there too. unconvincing stats with no sources.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m like “Wildberries and Tetris?” and that’s just tangential to wtf Temu.

Look at us go wheeee.

[–] NotProLemmy@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago

99% of people who use Temu are dumb. They don't stop to ask "everything is so cheap, but why?". Because they get blinded by convenience. And i HATE those people.

[–] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Brainrot generation, here we come!

[–] SealofLove@leminal.space 6 points 3 weeks ago

This is a Temu ad

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 6 points 3 weeks ago

Probably true. TEMU is personally also my most downloaded app. I've downloaded TEMU 3 time this year. Never opened it. Always uninstalled it immediately.

It installs automatically on some Samsung phones. I think it's after system updates. The Samsung store will pop up and recommend some apps. It then installs TEMU regardless of what you choose.

Kosovo out here just trying to avoid speed traps.
