The strangest thing happened last night at bedtime. I was browsing around on Mastodon on my cell phone, and checked the federated timeline. It was all in English!!!
I was stunned. Thought "wow, did we finally fix that flooded-by-Japanese problem???" I thought so, and was so happy about that.
Then I checked again on my computer, and it was all back to Japanese everywhere.
My experience of seeing only English messages on the federated timeline seems like a dream now. Nobody will believe me. It's like saying that I saw a UFO.
@bootblackCub I found that, too. However, it doesn't get rid of all the Japanese in the federated timeline. Alas!
@bootblackCub Mine, not so much. I did get rid of some languages that I don't speak, but there is so much Japanese that the federated timeline is totally unusable for me.
@skiring after finding the block language feature I found my timelines became way more readable
