Solely because I can’t read anything but English, I keep blocking foreign language communities as its just noise for me. But I have selected Undefined/English as my languages in settings.

It seems the language choice is never used by communities and posts? All of the .de instance posts seem to be “undefined” language. If they selected a specific language which matches their post language, it wouldn’t show up on my feed, right?

And currently there isn’t a way to block whole instances as a user, as far as I understand.

Will I have to just continuously hide foreign language communities as a user?

I’m not suggesting defederating or anything like that, just making my own feed less “noisy”

    the only thing really necessary would be setting the language to the entire… sublemmy (??) so all the posts there would default to the sub language. I think it’s pretty unusual for a sub to have posts in multiple languages, but at that point the big majority of it would be set.

      That would be a good solution, not sure if it’s a feature yet though. You’re just called communities on here :)
