I never see any German posts, what am I doing wrong?
Go to your profile settings. There should be a list of languages you can select. Depending on the interface you use, Ctrl+Click may do the trick of selecting multiple languages. Then save.
Not browsing All nearly enough
jokes on you, I have been learning german before lemmy
If it helps: “Tisch” is table in German and Feta is a greek cheese. => Feta + Tisch = Fetisch, but actually “Fetisch” has a complete different meaning on its own (eng.:“fetish”) so its a play on words. Thanks for coming to my TED-Talk.
That makes much more sense than “tofu table”
Wehe, irgendwer plaudert, Jungs/Mädels/Diverse.
Das ist ser schön!
Back when this meme format was making the rounds on 4chan, I always saw it as a guy with a really long Fu Manchu moustache and to this day I still can’t unsee it.
That’s how I’ve always seen it too. Your comment just now made me realize that those are his forearms.
You have ruined the Internet and memes for me forever now. I hope you’re happy.
Suffer well, brother.
Wasn’t there even a rage comic about that?
I blocked all the German instances because I couldn’t understand them anyway.
Edit:
Apparently a solution to the problem offends them lmao, didn’t realize me seeing posts I can’t comprehend was so important to these goofballs.
Artikuliere auf deutsch, du Sohn einer Fachfrau für Selbstvermarktung
Ich dachte das nennt sich Geschlechtsteilvermietungsfachpersonnachkomme?
Mieten sind i.d.R. nicht so kurzfristig, weshalb die bevorzugte Bezeichnung “Geschlechtsteildienstleistungsfachpersonalabstämmling” ist. Ebenso versichert “Abstämmling” im Gegensatz zu “Nachkomme” die leibliche Verwandtschaft.
Get good and learn a little German you silly American
I don’t have time energy or fucks to give when it comes to that sorry, it’s nothing against German I took German in highschool but I’m not trying to do that just so I can doomscroll in another language
你应该学学外语吧。
Gesundheit!
我本来打算学一些德语，但是，我也懂英语，我当看到你的 Username 的时候，我也在想：“这管你屁事？”
还有，我没有用翻译的软件。
(I was going to learn some German, but, I also know English, and when I saw your Username, I was thinking: “This is none of your bussiness”
Also, I did not use translation tools for this, can you say the same?)
😉
谢谢！I just learned to use “应该” from you haha. I wouldn’t mind seeing more random Chinese around here!
多好的主意 !
As a German, completely understandable
You have just made an enemy for life or until I get bored of it.
You’re missing out on the English communities on the German instances then.
Maybe but I think I’ll be ok not wading through hundreds of posts I can’t understand, I wouldn’t expect someone who doesn’t understand English to do it with American posts.
If that’s how someone else wants to spend their time more power to them, I do not have time for that unfortunately.
You could just set your language to English only.
You can just block German communities.
Ah I see there has been a miscommunication. I do block communities not entire instances I’m not actually aware of a way to block the whole thing I tried to do it to the furries but I didn’t see a way so I had to do it one by one, I’m not a Lemmy pro I just use Voyager and scroll it like it’s reddit since it’s better.
Not sure where the setting is on Voyager, but there is an instance filter in the profile settings in the browser. It blocks all posts from the instance, but not the users or comments in other communities.
Nimm es nicht persönlich, dass alle Deutschen hier im Faden dich beleidigen oder einfach anfangen, Deutsch zu schreiben, obwohl du Angelsachse bist. Es ist eher eine Art Maimai, auch wenn du natürlich Deutsch lernen solltest und diese Kommentarsektion nun Eigentum der BRD ist.
Sadly I’m not allowed to speak English since it’s forbidden by the German-ich_iel-internet-law, also known as Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn.
Richtig so.
Tja, keine Maimais für dich du doofmann
Google translates this as “no mail for you” is that correct? Does mail here mean any kind of communication?
I do like learning “doofmann” since where I’m from you might call someone a doof if they’re stupid.
Doof is German for dumb, so the meaning seems to transcend languages.
There is a typo. It’s supposed to mean “no memes for you.”
Was sind diese “memes”?
I did the same. Will do until the apps integrate translation.
Will do until I get bored with Lemmy altogether
Your loss.
Come on, loss is so over.
Apparently a solution to the problem offends them lmao, didn’t realize me seeing posts I can’t comprehend was so important to these goofballs.
That’s German humour
Haha I wake up pretty early in the US and see a lot of the German content. I have learned a lot about tables recently.
Still new here. But I haven’t come across any German instances yet….
Hi
feddit.org is the main German instance, although not all communities on here are in German.
Are you browsing all?
I still can’t figure out what “ich eil” means or even what language it is
Ich im echten Leben.
They take English and translate it word for word in a very literal fashion. It’s very difficult to understand for regular Germans because you kinda need to know the original English sayings to make sense of it.
And it’s somehow still an amazing experience despite not knowing a single word
Ich iel is a german acronym for “meirl”
Ah, im echten Leben, iel! Finally the quarter fell.
I saw this one and was like “oh shit i guess i speak german.”
Good choice. Nobody who speaks German could be an evil man.
As a side benefit, you will also be able to converse with Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, and Robert Terwilliger.
Oh, I didn’t know Kim Jong- un can speak German
I bet he speaks it like the same he doesn’t have to shit.
He went to school in Switzerland. Maybe that explains the Laibach concert.
Kind of fed up with this “meme”
The meme format i have no problems with, it’s the content in it, yeah we get it, Germans use Lemmy.
Thanks for the meme, much appreciated 😄
You guys are aware you can filter by language in the settings of your Lemmy account, right?
That’s like the most useless setting ever because nobody enforces the language while commenting
I wasn’t! Thanks for the clue!
I speak spanish and I feel like I’m fouble dipping in the fun. But once I tried diving into a german thread with the help of translators. Boy they were SAVAGE some shit was like “He got another dick surgery probaly wants to suck it himself at this point.” Idk who says german have no sense of humor but man that’s wrong AF.
They have a great sense of humor. It’s just that when it’s time to be serious (at work, meeting a stranger, out in public), they act serious.
Fun facts about Germany: No fun in Germany. Get back to work!
However, German humour is very special. Me, as a German, I love it.
Also non-Americans trying to browse Lemmy during work…
I really wish I could understand German humour
German idioms are funny. I read a book translated from German into English using ai. And Some of their idioms had me rofl.
German human is no laughing matter.
No, we are talk8ng about “Muricans” … most of them are thinking that these people need to learn English.
Have yet to see that opinion voiced except by you!
Yes, so many right wing Americans on Lemmy
How many languages can a human brain hold?
I have 3 spoken and 2 written languages and its a bit too much, I’m not trying to have 200 languages, that stupid green owl can go away.
Deutsch reicht.
In many cultures, it’s common to grow up with 3-5 languages. Learning them as an adult is much harder tho
Sometimes you can mix so many 语言, that 有啲人 都冇 understand you 係度 说啥？
