What are you subscribed to, to be seeing that many?

I think I've seen a couple tops in recent memory.

Depends on how you sort. If you sort by "top of last 1/6 hours" you will see lots of stuff from other languages.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 7 points 5 months ago

I browse by All with the Hot sort.

I see German posts constantly. I think because they might not be language tagged correctly?

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 7 points 5 months ago

Not making the language tag mandatory is one of the bigger lost chances of Lemmy. I can't even select it in my client.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago

I can see a use case for not having a language tag. For example on photos in general photography communities. But yeah, it's definitely an underused feature.

Or not really to feel bothered to change it to something else.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago

That's an explanation for why it was not used correctly. It doesn't really work as an "or".

I have set mine to show me all and sort by new by default, lol. (If I get bored I may temporarily chenge to hot and top.)
