I’m getting a lot of parts in languages I can’t read. Can I filter for just my native language?

    In your settings, you can set your preferred languages - since you’re on lemmy.world this link should take you there. You can hold control down to select multiple options if you’re on desktop (and mobile should have a selection box pop up).

    Though be sure to keep “undetermined” enabled, otherwise a lot of stuff will vanish. Also note that this only works for posts/comments where people have actually selected the correct language (if someone posts something in German, but marks it as English for example, it will still pop up).

      Undetermined has a lot of English content, but also holds all the “undetermined” content.

      While a lot of content disappears when disabled, I think this is exactly what OP asks for.

      An alternative would be to block communities from non-English Lemmy instances, but that isn’t foolproof either.
