Impossible to say without a timeframe, information about the other tags posted during that time, or any historical data to compare this data against.

If those are the 100 most popular tags posted within a timeframe during which only 100 were posted in total, it only takes 1 of each to end up in that list!

Also the tags you see on the website are probably weighted towards your interests or location.

Either way, go Nigerians, Suid Afrikaners, and Vietnamese (if Google got that right :P)!

I agree about the need of a timeframe in order to better understand what's happening. Unfortunately, the dev.to api doesn't provide anything like this.
