5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

... What German posts?

[–] Rednax 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy tags all posts with the language they are written in. Most clients filter any posts not of your selected languages by default. Hence, there is a good chance you never notice German posts.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that setting. Since that specific setting says, "If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content," I just assumed most people didn't select a language when they post. Since I still have "Undetermined" selected, I'd assumed I'd still see some foreign language posts.
