    you are on a French speaking community

    (I’m not him, but)

    Désolé, monsieur, it’s just that Lemmy is still so small that posts pop up on main feeds despite being from non-English communities, and then you get the natural “I wonder what that is about” reaction and need to satisfy your curiosity.

      No worries, but also feel free to configure your languages in your settings so that you don’t see content in languages you don’t understand

        Oh there are settings for that?

        Thank you for letting me know. Where can I find them? User settings I presume? (Going there now.)

            Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.

            Uff. I don’t think I will though, sorry.

              You should definitely keep Undertermined. Some content isn’t indeed tagged.

              However, you should maybe uncheck French. This post is tagged, as you can see by “Français” next to the community name.

                My point here is rather that you can’t uncheck things. Either you choose all and leave French unchecked, or leave all unchecked, with undetermined unchecked as well.

                Thus I won’t be choosing which languages I wish to see, because I don’t want to limit the threads I see to just English and especially posts which are solely designated as English, because most posts aren’t designated as English even if they are in English.

                So, I apologize for my continued presence on forums I might not speak the language of.

                  You can choose both Undetermined and English (and any additional languages you want) you don’t have to only select one.

                    Oh, true.

                    But I don’t wish to limit myself, I’m always learning new languages and I think PIE languages are all pretty similar, so being exposed to them is always good.
