Plus you have to compare the population of EN-speakers and DE-speakers. I am not saying that through that fact it is impossible to keep up with the EN communities, but we (as the DE community) might have to work harder on expanding the universe of Fandoms to cover more topics in gaming and entertainment. But since I've been on Wikia/FANDOM I saw that the community can grow. It only goes slowly :D

Second thing (what Egwene already mentioned) is that we have a huge influence from the EN community, the fandoms and everything else around us. Sometimes you find more friends or people sharing the same passion for the movie X (or anime Z or TV-Show Y) on english websites comparing to the German ones. And that doesn't happen with the german language, I think that happens on other language plattforms too.
