Looking at Fedidb.org the Fediverse Network Statistics, I’m seeing about 98,000 Active users as of the 27th. That’s at least 50k new users this month. Welcome to Lemmy, fellow migrants!

I like kbin but I’m hoping to find a fast way to filter out all of the German subs. I have absolutely no issue with them, I just can’t understand the content so it’s useless to me. It seems to take up about half of my feed
Man what is the deal with us Germans and this place? Feels like I’m invading by accident. Well, old habits…
Because feddit.de is a main Lemmy instance and there are some popular instances over there. I’d love to block feddit.de out right but they have the main starwarsmemes and some other good practical magazines, so I’m stuck unsubbing from them on a one-by-one basis.
Thanks for letting me know. Makes me shed a tear from pride knowing our practicability prevents you from disassociating with the German part of the fediverse.
Just learn German and get more memes! Then live in Germany for a bit and get the niche memes.
Work a small job, get german citizenship, marry a german partner, have a german family, die in a german grave, and forget why you did it all.
If you’re on kbin.social you can select subscriptions as the default in your user settings. That way only the magazines you subscribe to show in your feed.
You guys just love the Pole(-ish) position?
You can click the cancel icon besides the subscribe button in any magazine to stop them being shown to you
I don’t see either a subscribe button or a cancel icon. When i click on a community name it brings me to a page that’s just a feed of the links in that community.
do you open it from mobile phone? because the option is there on pc
I tried it on both the mobile site and also using the “load desktop site” versions, and i don’t see the “subscribe” or “cancel” options on either version.

EDIT:
Oh geez, i did some poking around and it seems that you have to tap the hamburger menu in the upper left of the website’s header section, then scroll down past a bunch of stuff unrelated to the community, and only THEN can you see the subscribe and block options. It’s clearly very early days in the design of this site. Amazing what’s been accomplished thus far, but there’s still a lot to be done.
Yeah the hamburger menu is not intuitive at all, but you can also scroll all the way down in a magazine to see those options
lol yeah, some kbin design are just not intuitive. like, why should I scroll to the bottom of the page to post a comment? also there’s no button to hide/unhide comment, see parents comment, etc. Lemmy is more similar to reddit, but it has a worse interface and much buggier
I play this game where I try to understand the ich_iel memes. I usually get close. Some of them are hilarious.
Yay, I’m not the only one!
Plus it goes the other way. If someone only knows German, the English will be a much-worse flood.
Probably needs a PR to add a per-user language filtering setting. Probably a good idea to permit multiple options for multilingual users. I don’t believe that it exists today, though clearly the metadata required to do the filtering is available.
I’m actually hoping that at some point we may have an automatic translation for content not in our chosen language. The way Mastodon does. I want to understand what the threads and comments in other languages are saying! I feel like it broadens understanding.
It’s cool to see what other cultures are talking about, for me the other languages posts are a plus.
I mean we can set the language of posts, cant you filter by the language (yet)?
Well, one more thing for the to do list, because yeah, that’s obviously useful
Isn’t there a language setting on kbin? On Lemmy I have set it to show posts only in English, Spanish, and Undetermined (where the poster didn’t set the language). I’d assume / hope there’s something similar in kbin?
I just block them
