I don't have anything against the German communities but my vocabulary has some gaps. Also even when I understand all of the words I often don't understand the context because of German memes referencing other German memes. Sometimes German politics are hostile also. I've lived there, that isn't new.

Mostly I generally only get on Lemmy to relax as I'm preparing for sleep. At that time of day I don't want to look up words I don't know. And I don't want to read things that even understanding all of the words, I don't understand. I'll likely never move back to Europe, I'd rather spend my time on more useful languages in the global and my regional realities. Spanish. Chinese, Japanese, maybe even Korean. I know some French, Dutch, Norwegian, Korean. German is my strongest 2nd language but I don't expect to use it, or French or Norwegian anytime soon.
