What's your filter settings on Lemmy? I feel like I miss the big posts and such. (feddit.uk)

Been loving the fed, but the past few days i'm wondering if my setup is wrong on this site?

Unspecified and English are my language settings in the account config.

I tend to go with Hot and check Top Day on All. I also am a heavy hider - once I open an image, check comments that post is gone [which I prefer, I don't ever dip back, unless I get a reply]

I have the big meme communities blocked so that's a massive chunk of content I'm missing out on, not that i'm complaining; it was too dominant.

Despite my local instance only being defedded with one community, I feel like i'm really not getting All on my....All.

Is it better to subscribe to stuff and set Subscribed to my default feed instead?

Thanks, hopefully i've not buggered something up

How do you filter for English?

I sometimes get a bunch of Dutch and German posts. They seem to come in waves. My high school German from years ago is not up to the task so I'd rather filter them out!

https://lemmy.world/settings in your settings, have "English" and "Unspecified" selected (on pc, old ctrl as you select them). Nothing else. Boom, no German or Dutch.
