Is there any way to hide posts in other languages? My homepage is filled with German posts, which would be great if I spoke German…

    I think the problem is that on some/?all instances the default language is set to either undefined or English. I’ve noticed its undefined on lemmy that I have used, while on Kbin it’s set to the language I set to read - English. So if people don’t change the language they will be posting undefined text or in English inadvertently.

    My account is set to show undefined and English posts only but I’m seeing a lot of German content.

      We’re working with alfa and beta software.
      Ideally the mods could set the default language on the magazine/community, there are a few english communities on feddit.de
      And with prefs you could select to hide certain languages.

      That’s not my experience, I don’t have kbin in english, but the comments are still automatically set to english. I can’t set them to undefined either (*cry in emoji).

      It would be pretty cool if it would detect it automatically by default.
