Here’s a complete list of all the language codes used by Mastodon. These can be useful when doing searches by language.
For example if you search mastodon including the phrase language:fr you will only see results in French. You can combine this with keywords or hashtags, or just have the operator on its own if you want to see all recent posts in that language.
(NOTE: If you want your timelines permanently filtering languages, use the dedicated language filters instead.)
