Not really a bug, more something that could be clarified:

In the filter section, you have a language section. The only thing it says is "comma separated".

Not sure what is the best way to do that. Imagine I put finnish, I guess that's ok. but I migth go Suomi instead. Or if I am french speaker, finnois, or if I am a dumb french speaker finlandais.
How will the system react ? wouldn't be less ambiguous with a tick box list ?
I don't really have a solution, mind you, just thinking aloud.

@francois yes, you're right. A checkbox would definitely be a better choice here. Will do.

@stefano
If so, a kind of whitelist switch would be handy. So filtering all except the one already specified language and then except of ... (E.g. English, French) too...
@francois

@daisy @stefano Excellent idea (gosh I love this - we just make up things and @Stefano makes it happen 😝😜😈 ) I mean the list of languages is bound to be lengthy, so having a toggle all but xx,yy is neat.

@francois @daisy ok, it's there. You can choose a language to filter or "Match all languages except", that will filter out all the languages not selected.

@stefano @francois it doesn't work as expected for me. I used the Match-all-except-option with English and Deutsch, but this post https://troet.cafe/users/Obstturnier/statuses/117138101782517901 got hidden. It's in Deutsch and I have no idea why it got hidden...

@daisy @francois "Match all except" deliberately treats an empty/unknown stored language as a match, so these older rows are hidden. Any remote status ingested before language support may be hidden by an inverted language filter, regardless of its actual language.
So it will work "from now on".

@stefano
Thank you for investigating. I did check the post example in tusky and it has the German language mark (on Mastodon). It looks like it maybe just didn't get all the way to littleone. 🤔 i try checking for it from other places next...
