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”
You need to hold Ctrl + click on the languages you want.
However new posts are set to “undefined” by default and most peoplenever change it, so the whole feature seems a bit useless for now.
I guess once we have significantly large and diversified communities, it will make more sense.
