@Gargron I've defined my few languages of choice in my preferences already. (If Masto doesn't filter my timeline as you wrote here, I don't get what for.) Why not auto-detect and suggest toot language among those preselected langs using stopwords with user override possibility? I detect blog article language between EN and DE using that in my blogging software. @Gargron nice, thank you! @Gargron is there a way to select more than one language? I'm writing German + English on one account , but if i choose one, people who filter, either don't see stuff meant for the german writing community or or the worldwide art community on my server. @uddelhexe_ Home feed is never language filtered. Mostly the language affects the explore tab. @Gargron Not really sure.. But for example, I would love to find some more ppl from the NL but neither search not the user dir gives some options I think? I don't want to set my account pref to only English and Dutch for that but do want maybe a lang dropdown on hashtag search results? I dunno.. (since our search is limited to interacted etc) @stux One of my next goals is to rework how trends are stored to allow retrieving more than one language, because currently the explore tab is empty if there is no activity in your interface language. @DarkWraithLord @stux Mastodon doesn’t know your physical location, so this will probably never be a thing |
@Gargron that's a great feature, thanks man! :)
