       Is there a way to filter out posts from the Home feed on Mastodon that aren't in English?

       @gamingonlinux yeah, in settings on the web you can select only the language you want to see. Do keep in mind that whenever someone posts in english but has their post set as a different language(the translate button then appears if you're on an instance with translation available) you won't see those either

       @gamingonlinux oh yeah apparently it is. That's stupid. Apparently you have to change the followed languages for each person you follow individually. I wonder if this can be done by exporting and re importing your followed account list. I don't know but I guess seeing whether that's one of the preferences like notifications that's on the backup list would be the first step. If it is then a batch script to change it on all accounts would be possible. But yeah, I don't even know if that's available and if it is that's all still very stupid.

       @gamingonlinux I follow the Linux Mint hashtag and that contains a lot of non-English posts.  I ended up muting anyone that posts in non-English that I see due to the hashtag.  It is not an absolute solution, but does handle the frequent posters who use the hashtag.  I wish the mastodon server that I am on had the translation service, then I would not need to do the muting.
