    I’ve started blocking communities h that operate in specific languages I don’t know. Im recent memory, a Spanish instance opened and my feed got flooded with posts in Spanish, so I went and blocked these communities not out of ill will but because their posts are meaningless to me except for the odd guessing game what words might mean.

    A reliable, integrated translation feature would open a new world of content for me there (though I’m not sure it could translate Spanish memes, unless it supports OCR, and Spanish news are probably of little interest to me)

      Lemmy allows you to select the languages you wish to see in settings. It mostly works for me. Mostly, because some posts/comments are “Undetermined”, and if you deselect that, you may miss on some posts and comments.

        The majority of content is “undetermined” because most users don’t take the time to set it. You’re likely missing out on more than you realize.
