Can we get the option to block communities from our /all feed? I’m sure ich_lel is funny, but I can’t read German, so I’d like to just stop it from showing up on my feed.
Dann wird es wohl Zeit, deutsch zu lernen.
I’m sure ich_iel is funny
ach wenn dem nur so wäre :(
Great suggestion!
Somehow, the issue gets much stronger feedback in Deutschland. 🥔
Until is not in app you can block communities from the Lemmy web interface
Sprich Deutsche du Hurrsonne (or whatever they say I’m not German)
Maybe if you remove German from the list of languages in your profile? I haven’t tried to check whether it removes posts from the all feed. Also this would only work if people set the language to German and don’t leave the setting to Undefined.
Also on Mastodon, there is a Translate feature. I don’t know if that may happen also on Lemmy?
FYI this is in the upcoming Test Flight.
I don’t know if this is what you are looking for, but I just block the communities that I don’t want showing up. I was in the same boat, I don’t speak German so I just blocked it and I haven’t seen a post since.
(Edit)
I had to do it in the web as a lot of the apps don’t have the functionality built in yet.
can’t read German YET https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem/pull/10 ;)
I have no idea how to use Github
This link shows a feature that was already done and is waiting to be accepted into the Mlem codebase, the feature is a simple translate button https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6067331/247935650-732a0151-fcb2-4938-990d-592ba7846f03.PNG
