Recently, on the francophone lemmy, there was some discussion on downvote, as some posts (on francophone instance, or francophone communities) gets a lot of downvote without a reason.

Yesterday, I had post going up to -5 before going back to 1. It was a belgian newspaper article about new IA regulation in Europe in the francophone news community of LW. I am glad that so many people are interested in European affair and want to votes. But considering that it’s not the kind of topic leading the heated discussion I doubt these downvotes were even about the topic but either some “random downvotes” or “people who haven’t set their language filter properly”

Just curious if some of you experienced similar issues when posting in German/Spanish/Korean/Russian/whatever

    By the way, beside ich_iel, which relax, laid back german community shall I follow to not forget the few German I know. All I do at the moment is listening once a month to DW Langsam gesprochene nachricten which isn’t enough to stay fluent.

      If you hope to keep your german up to date, I strongly advise you to stay away from ich_iel. The sub is essentially all about literal and deliberately wrong translation memes.

      Try [email protected], it’s a general news and conversational community, without the forced translation nonsense
