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…
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.

Me too. I haven’t really used my German in decades, but it feels good to flex that muscle again.
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
In kbin you can easily block magazines / communities.
I know it sounds ridiculous but I would feel a bit bad for blocking a community just because I couldn’t understand the language.
bzw? Gotcha!

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