The German ones who have the language set to English but only post in German. And the reason should be pretty obvious: They're assholes who are intentionally clogging up the feed of another language.

They mostly don't have the language set at all, like 99% of all posts and the reason is nobody cares.

I actually really enjoy translating the whole comments pages sometimes if I get the meme through context clues, can't tell if things get lost in translation or German humor is just really odd though..

Same. I block every instance and topic thats not in english. I cant read it and am not about to learn danish or german or whatever it is, so its an utter waste of my and lemmys time and bandwidth to show it to me. It should really be a standard feature.
