I have a Mastodon question.

I post mostly in English, but if I post in French, I try to remember to change the setting to Français.

I see a large number of posts in German, while my language seting is English and French. Is this simply because the poster didn't select the language? Maybe all apps don't allow this?

When I see posts in a language I can't read, I mute or block that poster, but some people post in more than one language.
