   Sometimes I want to toot in Swedish. But my non-Swedish followers will see those toots in their Home timeline due to lack of language filtering. Those toots will be perceived as trash. Too many such toots will be spammy trash and I will lose followers, and rightly so. Mastodon, you are forcing me to be silent. Fix your shit. Apply the language filter to the Home timeline as well.

     @macberg even if they did fix it, it wouldn't fix the bigger issue of nobody sets their language properly before posting...🤦♂️

     I'm sure you would, but most do not. Which is why it also doesn't work anywhere else most of the time either.

     @BeAware I didn't even know if I set the language of this post properly, and I was pretty sure there's nothing in the (Tusky) ui right now that allows me to do it in a way that I wouldn't consider prohibitively difficult... I was wrong, but still...

     I don't think it's fair to put that all on the user. So improving ux to set the language is also part of "fix your shit", imho.

     @BeAware for reference, looks like this in Tusky. Now that I see it, I can't think of an excuse I never tried it, but here I am admitting to it 😅

     @iwein yeah...it's a bit less noticeable cause everything seems kinda crammed.😬

     @BeAware I'm neither a power user nor a UX expert, but usually I am better than average at doing stuff with UIs. The fact that I failed to intuitively do it well, and failed to figure out it was a thing after more than a year, is an illustration of an opportunity (and my imperfections too of course).

     It may be solved through marketing via #fediTips , or through automatic language detection, or something else I didn't think of. The button color seems perfectly fine to me..
