Is there any way to hide posts in other languages? My homepage is filled with German posts, which would be great if I spoke German…

    Yes, but it’s annoying playing whack-a-mole especially adding in the sports team magazines. And if they do add auto-translate in the future it’s gonna be annoying to un-block all of them, though images likely will still be an issue.

    Also note that blocked magazines can still show up in the sidebar.

    This plus duplicated content/communities/discussion (where there actually isn’t a different perspective) really makes me think that the idea of how these sites are structured is flawed.

      I don’t disagree. However I spend most of my time in kbin.social/sub where I’ve already curated most of the groups I care to look at and engage with. I really only venture into /all when I’m kinda bored. Thus, so far, it hasn’t really been too terribly problematic to do that.

      It would be nice to declare a language whitelist and have a filter for it, but I suspect kbin has some more important things on the To Do list for the moment, and maybe devs will get around to it when they’ve got a breather. We’re likely going to have another influx on the 1st after the alien site kicks app devs in the nuts.
