The Masto server I'm on, toot.bike, is actually German, so there are a lot of German-speaking cyclists on here. I now enjoy looking at the Local timeline (which shows toots from just your own server instance) and trying to read the German messages, to improve my grasp of the language
@WilliamNB this is something I love about Mastodon too, no algorithm tailoring your feed => you see a lot more different languages here. I'm also trying to learn German, and Welsh, and posts on here are definitely helpful!
