Spain ~89.426
Roughly ~89.426 people are active on and around AT Protocol in Spain.
The .es domain is widely registered for English word-play rather than as a statement about Spain, so its raw match count (11.666) is far higher than what we can stand behind (199). Those matches are counted at the lowest rank, not read as Spain adoption.
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 Spain.
What we can stand behind
199 accounts we can place in Spain for certain, each from a deliberate signal. The real number is higher, which is what the estimate models.
Where these accounts come from
Those 199 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 Spain is not captured, which is part of why the real number sits above the confirmed floor.

Local communities in Spain
- atproto.barcelonaBarcelonaMeetups and gatherings for AT Protocol people in Barcelona, started by @didiermortier.eu.
City communities, run by their own people. They cover a city, not the whole country.
No national community for Spain yet
Would you like to run one? There are 199 accounts here already, and this page is the only thing standing in for a community that should be run by people who live there.
We can hand over the data behind this page, the collectors that produce it, and the site itself, which is open source. What we cannot do is be from Spain.
