When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

Furthermore, it's great that you can block someone without reporting them here. You can just kinda look at a comment history and be like β€œNone of this is rule breaking, but you're just a jerkass, and I do not care to associate with you.” Further, you can block communities without that being a damnation of that community. Don't know German? Just block the German communities and they won't show in your feed. It's not because they're bad subs, and you want them to go away. You just don't care about them

There's a setting that let's you see English only without having to block i think. I know if you post in English and select "post language" as English only those who set English see and German set language will not. :)

I've set that, but a bunch of them have their language set as undefined. That's fine. I don't mind it. It's just nice to be able to easily and quickly filter out my feed to the set of posts that I can literally make sense of and that my brain doesn't register as impossible to read mystery language

Hm, I'm using Jerboa and just realized there seems not to be a way to choose any language, anywhere. Does this comment appear as English, or undefined?

I also can speak several languages, and read a few some more, wonder how would that need to be set. There was also supposed to be an option to automatically translate stuff, I think?

I don't see any language tag on this comment, so i assume undefined, but idk how to easily tell
