Thank you!
That's the spirit!
Thank you, I do indeed live in !barcelona@piefed.social !
Regarding the Catalan vs Castilian discussion, I prefer to focus on Catalan at the moment. I can speak Castilian okay, but Catalan is the language of Catalunya, so it makes sense to me to learn it as a mark of respect to the local people, and to integrate in society.
People sometimes say that Castilian is more useful as it is more widely used worldwide, but that's shortsighted in my opinion:
- at the European level, English is much more widely spoken than Castilian (35% vs 13%, and that's without the UK: https://languageknowledge.eu/countries/european-union), so by that logic, every people in Spain should learn and speak English (and indeed, there are some areas of Barcelona where you can now only live in English, so that phenomenon is already happening)
- the local language is always going to be more useful than whatever powerful language is also present locally. If you move to Zurich, learn Swiss German. If you move to Denmark, learn Danish. If you move to the Netherlands, learn Dutch. If you move to Québec, learn Québecois French even if English or European French are more widely spoken.
Your 70-year old neighbors don't really care what language is spoken in Europe or worldwide, but they'll care if you don't learn their language.

I just checked, the language settings of this community are set as such:
My account settings are set like this:
Would it be possible to automatically match the post settings with the languages allowed by the community?
Would it be possible to have the language tag visible directly in the UI?
Also, I've always been cautious with using language tags due to the history of language settings being set incorrectly at the user level in Lemmy (see !languagesettings@lemmy.zip )
A large number of the German speaking communities do not set it automatically to German either, and their expectation is probably that if someone does not speak German, they are going to just block that community once and be done with it.
Esta es activa. Cual son las otras comunidades que conoces?
Cool, thank you!
Feel free to ask the question as its own post!
