France ~670.930
Roughly ~670.930 people are active on and around AT Protocol in France.
Two main numbers
How we estimate this
AT Protocol has no country field, so we cannot count directly. We measure posting activity per language across Europe, weight each language to the countries where its speakers live, and calibrate the whole model to the Dutch figure on atproto.nl. Language only feeds the estimate; it never confirms that an account belongs to France.
What we can stand behind
5.514 accounts we can place in France for certain, each from a deliberate signal. The real number is higher, which is what the estimate models.
Where these accounts come from
Those 5.514 accounts by the signal that placed each one. Every account is counted once, under its strongest signal.
What it cannot see
People who post mainly in English are invisible to a language model, so an English-first account in France is not captured, which is part of why the real number sits above the confirmed floor.
