Maybe I am missing a joke but that sounds very little like high german and more like a heavy accented or dialect version like swiss-german or austrian-german.
Its gibberish, supposed to be East German. It's from Top Secret, still a cool movie
I started way before I came here but the posts are nice, the comments are really good cause they tend to be longer/more in depth
I use catodon.social and it's got a ton of German speaking people, and while Catodon is very very well designed it doesn't have a translation option yet.
... What German posts?
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.
