Doesn’t Kbin filter based on your language preferences? And even then, English is used by non-native speakers (such as myself) as well, because it’s the language that most people understand and it allows you to speak to a much larger user base.

Lemmy has a language filter in your user settings. And every post/comment has a field to specify language. When I first started I couldn't see most comments because I didn't have the right languages selected in my profile.

I don't mind seeing content in English or other languages. A different thing is to understand what is written in those other languages, except Spanish and maybe Portuguese, French or Italian. But I don't remember seeing any language filter. But I know there is a language filter on Lemmy.

I’ve checked and you can find it on the settings page in the general section. I’ve briefly tested it and it seems to do what it says, but of course it fully depends on comments and posts being correctly labeled. I suspect that many people don’t correctly label their posts and comments. I know I don’t.
