Communities that have no language selected

When browsing through "All", I quite frequently see communities and servers (is that the correct term?) that are in a language I have not selected. I assume they have no language selected.

Is there a way to report them?

I know I can block them, but that's not the idea, is it?

Almost no one uses the language settings, so everything will just run under "undetermined".

If it bother you, blocking is probably your best option.

I mainly just block those communities. From my block list feddit.org is by far the biggest issue in this regard. Wish their german communities would just have an automatic german tag when posting there instead but oh well

I see ich_iel is on the list - it does have a German language tag though.

From all german communities ich_iel has the strongest german enforcement. If you dare to speak a foreign language (this includes english) you are getting downvoted and insulted for sure.

Probably got a post without a tag in my feed? Idk

Ah that must be it. I thought it would be enough to have a tag for the whole community but it seems untagged ones still go through.

Could be a setting somewhere idk + I did not have language filtering on from the start so might've been from that time as well.

If a community has only one language enabled in the settings, all the posts on that community will automatically be tagged with that language

Examples

Maybe that's something that can be raised to the feddit.org mods
