    I don’t mind so much, as it encourages me to practise my German. However, it could get troublesome if lots of other languages start popping up. Mastodon has a language filter option, I guess such a feature will eventually make its way to kbin bzw lemmy…

        Same here; I used to be fluent, but lost it to disuse, it’s been nice to brush out the lingual cobwebs.

      I subscribed to a few German magazines to practice the language. Now my “subscribed” feed is hijacked lol

        I know it sounds ridiculous but I would feel a bit bad for blocking a community just because I couldn’t understand the language.

      It doesn’t work that well since English seems to be the default and most people don’t change that default. There should be a way to report a post as the wrong language it is claiming to be, too.

      Mastodon’s filter option doesn’t work all that well. I have it turned on and I still get stuff in other languages with the tags that I follow. I don’t mind it much since Mastodon has a translation feature.

      Yeah, I’d like a list of languages. English, Japanese, and German with possibly adding French and Spanish depending upon my mood.
