@klu9@exquisite.social @FediTips@social.growyourown.services I can understand not wanting to see posts in languages you don't know, although as a language nerd myself, I actually love the diversity and find myself thinking things like "I know some German, a little Dutch, and some Old English, I bet I can tease out the general meaning of this news headline in Swedish. Let me give it a shot!"

    @halyihev@esperanto.masto.host @FediTips@social.growyourown.services At first, I actually approved loads of Romance languages (even ones I don't know like Aragonese & Galician) just for the hell of it 😆 Even latine, lingua franca nova & Interlingua (my favourite "if only everyone would just use this!" auxlang). But as my timeline got more & more full, I trimmed them back so I might stand a chance at getting through it. #Mastodon #MastodonHelp

    @FediTips@social.growyourown.services @halyihev@esperanto.masto.host I must admit I rather like seeing posts in languages I don't speak at all or in scripts I can't read too - in an odd way it feels nice to be part of a community of people all over the world going about their lives and being reminded that they're out there having experiences I can't understand

    @halyihev@esperanto.masto.host @klu9@exquisite.social @FediTips@social.growyourown.services it's interesting to see how different languages in the same linguistic groups relate to each other too.
