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...
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.
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.
I subscribed to a few German magazines to practice the language. Now my "subscribed" feed is hijacked lol
bzw? Gotcha!
Yeah, I'd like a list of languages. English, Japanese, and German with possibly adding French and Spanish depending upon my mood.
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.
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.
