PieFed DKAyo, is there a way I can filter posts by language on Lemmy or sth?

Honestly, I’d miss plenty of content, and some of it great, too. But I can’t take opening this damn app anymore and being blasted with US everywhere, even in unrelated communities. I honestly feel sometimes like I should just quit Lemmy, or at least take a long break. But idk what to do in the bathroom lol
User,. settings, languages.
Do read the warning though.
Wait… what kind of warning!? What are the risks? I’m to afraid to check myself now lol
For some reason Lemmy doesn’t select a default language when you post or comment, so most is simply “undetermined”.
Just checked that out, and it’s something indeed I recall trying long ago. But it keeps on reselecting “Undetermined” for some reason whenever I save
I’ve been really aggressively blocking communities that have stuff I don’t want to see. It’s been a huge help
That helps, but sometimes the community is more general and the content I don’t want shows up anyway. E.g. I’ve created an account soon as I saw US News & Politics show up, seeing the opportunity to block it. Yet the more general World News frequently has US-specific stuff (fair, I guess, seeing as the US is part of the world, despite them labelling anything not them as “World”, e.g. “World Music"). Or US news and politics showing up in Lemmy Shitposts. I enjoy some shitposting. But why???? Can’t get a break. At least filtering out English would free me from so much US
Just switch accounts with me. I get like 90 percent posts in German and I have know idea why.
I’m also a pretty fast skim reader so I’ll be halfway through the article before my brain alerts me it’s in a language I don’t understand. It’s very frustrating .
