Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Seems like my new job is to block communities.

Yes, but the thing is that most people submit non-english content using the Undetermined language, defeating the purpose of filtering out other languages.

Another issue is that communities can disable some languages, but as a user you don't see which ones are enabled/disabled.

Never hesitate to politely point it out to the community. I'm part of a few French speaking communities, we always make sure to only enable French and to indicate it in the sidebar

Now I'm wondering, does that cause an issue when posting or commenting with a third-party apps, which might not have the ability to assign a language?

There are basically three options

  • user has all languages available, so French would be used as the common language with the community
  • user only has a few languages selected, including French, so same as above
  • user doesn't have French in their languages, in that case they usually ask in the support community (which allows every language) and see that it's a common issue
