I’ve used Lemmy for quite some time, but I haven’t found an Engrish community, other than the lemm.ee one, and the instance there died. Any alternatives?
Uhh, you mean like this? https://engrish.com/
Any Engrish-like community in here?

Is that a typo, or you’re looking for a community based on casual racism?

The one I encountered on Reddit (way back when) was more focused on occasions where slightly wonky translations led to funny results, rather than just making fun of bad translations, or the people who wrote them.
E.g.
It’s like the posts showing unnecessary quotation marks on signs - it’s not about making fun of the people who wrote the sign, it’s funny because it now conveys something else.
E.g., a sign outside a farm offering Fresh brown “eggs” for sale.

Maybe a community for that under a different name would be appropriate?

Or would it be a community of first generation immigrants venting their frustrations with English itself?
