Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I exclusively browse All and have blocked 615 communities and 2 instances.
Is there a way to block non English content? The last time I looked into this, you could choose to only see English content, but that would also filter out all content which didn't have a language specified. This made the filtering unviable because most content doesn't specify the language and most content is in English.
I set my language and don't see a lot of non-English communities but I'm not sure if those two things are related. I don't mind filtering them out, it's no more than a couple per week
You can choose both English and "unspecified." You'll still see some non-English stuff when people don't set the language, but it will filter out all of the posts where the language is set to something else.
Thanks, will try that!
