that is, if you chose a language from the settings. otherwise you see all that's posted
I think we missed a valuable opportunity to only respond in German, like when that guy accidentally set his reddit to Spanish and everyone helped in Spanish.
Would rather have ability to translate them
Long term solution, learn German.
You should be able to block the German instance on the desktop, and it'll carry over to your app
Yes, but only if the language has been declared. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell not a single post originating from feddit.org's many communities declare the language to be German.
The good news is that Voyager (and Lemmy itself) supports blocking a whole instance: In Voyager tap Settings -> Filters and Blocks -> Blocked Instances -> (add feddit.org)
Blocking it this way means you will not have to block each community one-by-one.
Fortunately, this kind of block simply hides all posts and communities from the blocked instance. You can still see federated comments from their users as long as they are declared to be in a language you have selected in your profile settings (probably you have English and Undetermined selected)
Nein, aber Sie kΓΆnnen die Community blockieren.
It motivated me to study German. But you can just block any communities that post in languages that you don't understand.
Click to go to the home page of the community you don't like. Then in the upper right corner select the dots then down at the bottom select block community.
