So, lemmy is a project I have been following since the beggining. With federation here, it seems like everything is aligned for it to become the reddit killer, pardon my expression.
What do you think is missing from lemmy for it to have a massive engaging community?
Your proposed solution doesnt really help, because then you just separate all languages on their own instances. But they would federate with each other, because most people speak more than one language. Then users will still see posts/comments in languages they dont understand. The advantage of language tagging is that every user can decide which languages they want to see.
was meant to solve that.
But TBH, this is the way the world is going. People are finding that sub-dividing things into categories is too limiting. Using tags works better. Why shouldn’t it be the case for filtering languages too?
I am sure that full isolation of the space is the worst thing you can do together with 1 lang communities and also an innecesary waste of resources.
