I find myself blocking a lot of foreign communities just because they're foreign. It feels wrong and unnecessary. This is the future isn't it?
If I set my settings to English why can't I just use Lemmy in English and never know that the person I'm chatting to is doing so in German and they never know that I'm doing so in English?
That would be really cool, unfortunately there is no translation software anywhere near that robust. Translation is a difficult and complicated job even for humans, and it's one of those jobs that is way harder for computers than it is for us.
