Why is it that I do see #Mastodon messages in my Home Timeline (which is server-side language filtered) that have been posted using a language which is clearly deselected in my #languagefilter preferences?
Does it happen to you as well? For example with my German messages (and you have disabled "German" in your settings)?
If this is a bug, it's been there since years. 😔
Or isn't that filter working for messages/boosts of people I follow? Which would be a pity IMHO.

Update on #Mastodon's inability to filter languages despite its #language filter settings:
2 issues from Mastodon issuetracker:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/3706
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20241
It seems to be working as expected but their expectations does seem to differ from my expectation as well as many others. I'd like to have languages filtered everywhere.

I assume, this could be two topics:
* Filtering on the set language in a post
* Auto-detect a language from a given content
This post should be sent with language set to "EN".

@nick Of course, there are those two different topics.
But they're related by topic and do address the UX of Mastodon.
And yes, your message was sent in EN because my reply did have "EN" as language set because of the inheritance when replying.

Und weil ich explizit darauf geachtet habe... jetzt als "DE"...
