    @dj3ei Indeed one of many challenges! Others: How would people name their languages? How would you combine different names for the same language? Etc.

    The bubbles are what make the Fediverse so exciting! IIRC, there is a large Japanese bubble whose servers use Japanese software.

    A post by the official Mastodon channel would help somewhat but would probably still mostly reach a Western audience.

    Yes!

    Also: What counts as two different languages, what doesn't? USA and British versions of English, German and Austrian versions of German, Platt as spoken in parts of Northern Germany and Dutch and Afrikaans (afaik, speakers of those three can mostly comprehent each other, but my knowledge of this is sketchy).
