  I think we can do better about the language gap here. Ideally vutuv would offer
  translations of posts in your language. I created a milestone for that. Please
  have a look and participate in the issues when you have ideas or feedback.

    I saw it :-)
    
    First thing that came to my mind: I want to end the mix of languages in my feed
  so I can concentrate on only one language. AFAIK content language is part of
  the Fediverse protocol already (it definitely is for Mastodon). But no client
  does offer any kind of filtering so people still end up to have two separate
  accounts, one to post in their native tongue and one for posting in english
  :-/
    
    Same as you just did here: You decided to target a different audience by
  intentionally choosing to post in english. But non-german speakers might not
  want to follow you because they can't decide to only see your english posts
  and ignore the german ones.
    
    Working with automatic translation might be something in addition. But as we are
  also kind of fighting the anonymity of non-reviewed AI translations, I kind of
  don't really want to see that. I might like ad-hoc translation from case to
  case, but wouldn't generate static copies of a post as a translation. It also
  doesn't work well with the Fediverse out there because there is no such thing
  as a single post having multiple languages. I know the idea that "once
  translated for everyone" seems nice, but I got some mixed feelings about it.
  Maybe a language switcher would help, maybe it is more a question of getting
  UI and UX right. But I think whats more important first is to do the cart
  sorting right of the posts in their original language.
