If you go to the top all-time posts on DEV, you won't see many American-based authors as you scroll down the list compared to folks from around the world.

For the Big Thread Badge we saw multiple winners from the continents of Oceania and Africa before we got our first North American winner.

So, suffice to say, if you're following popular developers here, you're going to get folks from around the world. I think the center of gravity on Twitter are still California (big tech) and New York (media). We don't have that same pull around here.

What does that page use to determine order? It's not date (for all posts > 1 gazillion hearts) and it's not (total interactions) and it's not (number of hearts). I am confuse.
