How come, despite having language filters configured for my account, I'm still seeing some toots from other (not selected) languages too?
It isn't the case of one writing a post in language X and setting it (incorrectly) to be Y (or not setting it at all) - in such case they will show up, obviously.
It's the case of having, for example languages x/y/z enabled, watching a tag, and post in language v appears.
Happens rarely, but in two separate apps. Both show lang v 1/2

Both mobile apps show the lang "v" as if it was set for that particular post. Strangely, web view - does not (which is probably why the post appears in the first place). I'm guessing maybe apps follow some older protocol version, otherwise they'd need to detect the language themselves, and I don't think they do that. Anyways, slightly disappointing. Obviously you can't force the people to set proper language for a post, and everyone can make a mistake. That applies to case 1 tho, not 2
