1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

What are you subscribed to, to be seeing that many?
I think I've seen a couple tops in recent memory.
Depends on how you sort. If you sort by "top of last 1/6 hours" you will see lots of stuff from other languages.
I browse by All with the Hot sort.
I see German posts constantly. I think because they might not be language tagged correctly?
Not making the language tag mandatory is one of the bigger lost chances of Lemmy. I can't even select it in my client.
I can see a use case for not having a language tag. For example on photos in general photography communities. But yeah, it's definitely an underused feature.
Or not really to feel bothered to change it to something else.
That's an explanation for why it was not used correctly. It doesn't really work as an "or".
I have set mine to show me all and sort by new by default, lol. (If I get bored I may temporarily chenge to hot and top.)
