I know you are mentioning it’s in German in the comment, but how about using the properly language setting as well?

I would guess they are upset they engaged with a german language post when they set their account to show only their, presumably english, language.

I speak German just fine. It’s for other people. What’s the point of having a language setting if people are just going to stick “English” there?

When you submit a post or comment, there is a selection box to indicate what language it is. People can choose what language they do understand to filter out content they can not / are not interested in seeing. OP has selected “English” as the language of a post that is clearly in German.

Thanks, I didn’t know that a setting like that exists (I have not posted anything yet)

The language is properly set. The post itself is in English. The language setting defines the language of the post, not the language of the linked content.

The app that I am using, Voyager, doesn’t have an option to set the language for a post.
