Honestly the language problem is a huge one. Probably 50% of my feed I can’t even read. There are language filters so that you can set the language of your post but people do not use them. I joined an English-only instance but recently they were accused of being racists so they rolled that rule back.
Some instances have built in auto translation these days, works quite well in my experience.
But if language filtering works everywhere except when following hashtags that sounds like a bug and you should probably see if there is an issue for it on the Mastodon bugtracker, and if not make one.
I haven’t seen any with auto translation. I have seen ones with a translation feature but, presumably to conserve resources, it only does it after you click the button, which makes it most pointless, in my opinion.
