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”

    I don’t even have the language selection while posting from Jerboa. But like the others said most people probably won’t use it becuase it is annoying to find the language on the slider menu without a search functionality each time. It would be used more if instances and users could select a default language for themselves
