I find myself blocking a lot of foreign communities just because they're foreign. It feels wrong and unnecessary. This is the future isn't it?

If I set my settings to English why can't I just use Lemmy in English and never know that the person I'm chatting to is doing so in German and they never know that I'm doing so in English?

It'd be really nice if the Bergamot translation project that Mozilla uses becomes big enough that it ends up being used in other apps as well. That'd be cool if you could get the engine as a mobile app and the apps could simply send a local translation request to it.
