I blocked all the German instances because I couldn’t understand them anyway.
Edit:
Apparently a solution to the problem offends them lmao, didn’t realize me seeing posts I can’t comprehend was so important to these goofballs.
I don’t have time energy or fucks to give when it comes to that sorry, it’s nothing against German I took German in highschool but I’m not trying to do that just so I can doomscroll in another language
Google translates this as “no mail for you” is that correct? Does mail here mean any kind of communication?
I do like learning “doofmann” since where I’m from you might call someone a doof if they’re stupid.
Nimm es nicht persönlich, dass alle Deutschen hier im Faden dich beleidigen oder einfach anfangen, Deutsch zu schreiben, obwohl du Angelsachse bist. Es ist eher eine Art Maimai, auch wenn du natürlich Deutsch lernen solltest und diese Kommentarsektion nun Eigentum der BRD ist.
Sadly I’m not allowed to speak English since it’s forbidden by the German-ich_iel-internet-law, also known as Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn.
You’re missing out on the English communities on the German instances then.
Maybe but I think I’ll be ok not wading through hundreds of posts I can’t understand, I wouldn’t expect someone who doesn’t understand English to do it with American posts.
If that’s how someone else wants to spend their time more power to them, I do not have time for that unfortunately.
At first it annoyed me slightly but I’ve noticed that I can understand most of them without having to use a translator, so now it’s just free language practice. And deciphering memes is decidedly more fun than taking a course.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Ich hoffe du triffst nie auf Zangendeutsch, da weiß selbst ich nicht mehr, was dort eigentlich gesagt wird.
Zangendeutsch ist v.a. auf ich_iel sehr weit verbreitet, dem Hauptinkubator deutschsprachiger Memes auf Lemmy.
Tangendeutsch heff ik ja noch nie höört aver dat geiht ja noch. Dat klingt hollt meist bloot temlich swacksinnig. Wat seggt denn eerst bi zB Plattdeutsch.
Edit: Zangendeutsch habe ich ja noch nie gehört, aber das geht ja noch. Das klingt halt meist bloß ziemlich schwachsinnig. Was sagst dann erst bei zB Plattdeutsch.
I’ve never heard Zangendeutsch before, but that’s still possible. It just usually sounds pretty stupid. What about Low German(Plattdeutsch), for example?
Ich bin in Norddeutschland aufgewachsen Platt ist kein Problem, auch wenn ich es nicht spreche.
Swede here dealing with the same realization. Although continental Scandinavian is a Germanic language and share the same ancestry as German, eg proto-Germanic, and thereby shares a lot of similarities, it’s not mutually intelligible. I can how ever often times pick out some words and with some bending and shuffling around get a gist of what’s going on. But only if it’s presented in a meme format.
Haha I wake up pretty early in the US and see a lot of the German content. I have learned a lot about tables recently.
feddit.org is the main German instance, although not all communities on here are in German.
I’ve had to block so many German Lemmy’s. It’s frustrating because I can tell it’s a good article and I believe European news more than US news now.
