Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?

Why zero chance?
It's a weird ass language. When you start, it feels easy because rules are rigid. Then you try to build longer sentences PROPERLY and you feel that it is cumbersome. Finally you try to talk to native speakers, and you see that native speakers also think it is cumbersome and they omit 50% of rules in dailyspeak. Then, your brain turns into a mush which cannot decide if past is ok here or do I do perfekt to not look like a posh journalist. Do I use genitive like a properboi or dativ like a correct streetboi? Oh wait, they call it Cola (female) in Germany but Cola (male) in Austria? Wait what? it's not country specific but much more local than that and you can be wrong while in a car?
It's a mess.

Hey, some of us just want to have the biggest instance so we don't have to rely on people subscribing to things. (Australia, I have 2 accounts)

Anyone else outside US and Europe: do we exist?
Apparent we do not

My condolences. The middle east is a friggin inferno this time of year. Visited a middle eastern country a few years ago and I did not know heat until I spent two weeks in the month of July down there.
Was so fucking relieved when nighttime came and the temperatures lowered to 38C. :'D
I legit don't know how you guys deal with that heat. I'm in awe.
I live in western Anatolia and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations for Arabs and Russians. In the eastern part of Turkiye's Mediterranean region, people sometimes take aim at the sun and shoot because of the heat.

I'd argue these are more unsafe for Americans than Europeans, y'all are the ones having to use the death traps.
Skill issue.

English based Platform? Uuuuh, buddy the fediverse is a global project and hosted in several different countries.
What language are we communicating in? What language is the default for this platform? What language is used for the TOS? What language do the developers use? The Fediverse is a global project, but it's also mostly English based.

wrote last edited by [email protected]What language is the default for this platform?
I dunno, whats your instance configured like? Mine defaults to German.
What language is used for the TOS?
I dunno either, whats your instance configured like? The TOS of my platform is written in German.
What language do the developers use?
A mix of Rust, TypeScript, and PLpgSQL; and also French as Dessalines is a frenchman, but for global communication I guess the team uses English (which is still an official language in the EU)

Just because you overwhelmingly see English content doesn't mean that its mostly like that.
ALSO ALSO
the Fediverse is more than lemmy, you know that right?

I checked the main default Lemmy UI does not have filters. But my mobile Lemmy client (Eternity) do have.

Well sure. But that’s also because everyone else learned how to use English to communicate. So it FEELS like we’re all American. It’s a common thing in online spaces.
Maar als we allemaal terug zouden gaan naar onze eigen taal, voelt het hier een stuk minder Amerikaans.
I’ve literally had lengthy English conversations with other Dutch people online where we only figured out we were both Dutch twenty comments later

There is something so ironic about this post xD what about the other continents? I have been told they have people with internet access too xD
Well, there are a lot of penguin posts here.

That's not the issue. The issue is stuff like [email protected] which explicitly forbids world politics. It's an US politics only community.

Can't blame them!
I've never been to turkey, but have visited some of the Greek Islands very close to turkey and I love the nature there. Generally, I have a weakness for subtropical climates. The pale, brittle mountains and the herbs growing on them and scenting the air. It's awesome. Still hot as hell, but very pretty. The place in the middle east I visited was 99% desert and murderous heat. I think one of the days we had 50C+ heat. It was like breathing in oven heat. 8'D
