Constantly users from lemmy.world and lemm.ee are downvoting posts in languages other than english.

If you do not understand and don’t wanna see it just use the filters.

Go to settings and select the languages you know, plus “undetermined”. That’s it.

Thanks

    Except not everyone has learned english, not everyone can especially older people.

    Lemmy has that feature built-in that communities can support arbitrary languages. If you don’t want to see them you can literally just pick your languages in your profile, and it’ll automatically ignore what you can’t read.

    A bit weird in practice, but it’s intended from the start to be available in everyone’s languages without having to make news-de, news-fr, news-es communities or have to rely on regional instances.

    If we went with maximizing who can read your post then it should be in Chinese. The assumption that english is the default language for everything is very american.
