Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I use Mastodon and it has all languages. Some instances have a Translate service built in. I also have a continual interest in a couple of non-english speaking cultures and use a translate addon in my browser when necessary. In 2025, there is no reason to limit yourself to your native language, even if you don't speak any other language. The Internet connects us all, if you want it to.

Not the people behind the great Chinese firewall. Both on Lemmy and Mastodon there are practically no Chinese or Korean instances. For some reason Japan is an exception.

We do have chinese users using Vpn most likely

But have you seen many instances where the chinese language is the main language?
