Hide posts in other languages?
TheLazurus@kbin.social to /kbin meta@kbin.social – 102 points – 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...

Maybe a different approach would be a way to specify which languages you are able to read. There are plenty of users who are multilingual might want to see posts in several languages.
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.
Sure, but shouldn't we also need to subscribe to communities/mags from these instances? I know i see lots from .de domains in my feed, but I am not subscribed to any of the communities/mags on the instances those posts originate from.
In your settings you can change the default home page from All to Subscriptions.
