Starting in Mastodon 4.2.0, you can filter your searches on Mastodon by language.

As no one else has done it, I've written an easy-to-use list of all the language codes used on Mastodon:

➡️ fedi.tips/language-codes-used-

Combine these codes with the operator language: to filter your search results.

For example, if you only want Mastodon search results in French you would include language:fr in your search alongside the keywords or hashtags that you're looking for.

@feditips When will we see the ability to easily translate posts here?

@feditips I'm pretty sure I configured my settings to only display English posts, but I still see tons of foreign language posts all the time. Am I missing something?

@feditips bilingual people are setting their post language wrong half of the time though (they leave the default). To the point that I modified Mastodon's translation button to not send the source language (so it's auto detected)

Excellent!

One thing I am looking for... It was rumoured that we would be able to choose a setting where those posts we have in our notifications, especially those from people we have followed with the notification bell on, would be sifted out of our home feed.

Can't find it. :sad_cat:

@feditips I just now noticed that it's possible to set the language of a toot, something I've never done in the past! @_@
