I would like to be able to more effectively filter posts of languages i can’t understand. Using memmy i have been trying to filter posts by key word and entering common words in every language, but it’s not changed how much i scroll past, and it’s hard to determine if it’s effective at all.

I just blocked a few foreign communities, maybe three of the biggest ones. solved it for me

Also the opposite. Allow the user to specify that they want to see ALL languages, regardless of which ones their instance supports. It seems weird that navigating to an instance without being logged in shows all posts but when you’re logged in they get automatically filtered to the instance-supported languages.

Are your language preferences set on your account? (open your account settings on the website rather than an app)

Or are these all posts with their language set to undefined?

I had not set these options yet. But they are set now. I am keeping undefined, not sure all that i would lose without it

Usually these posts are in language specific communities and the best option then is to just block the community (or the whole instance, if the whole instance is language specific).
