Lately I've been seeing a huge amount of new Lemmy subs in different languages, or subs specifically about certain regions, countries, etc.
I very much applaud this growth, and think it's awesome that so many more people can enjoy posts in their own languages.
Having said that, 50% of the posts I see now are in languages that I don't remotely speak, are specifically and only for countries on the other side of the world for me, or are about subjects I really am not interested in ) mainly anime.. so much anime...
I keep blocking these subs when I see them but they show up faster than I can plug them, and my blocklist ia getting larger and larger and honestly bits becoming a nuisance
Is there a way to at least whitelist languages? I speak a good amount of languages but giving me twenty posts in twenty different languages is just... Not working
Also, if we could perhaps tag subs with labels like "news" and "anime" I could then whitelist or blacklist those tags that I like
Is there anything like that available on Lemmy?

( FYI, Blacklist and Whitelist vs. Blocklist and Allowlist in UX Design )

My best advice is to not use All when you don't want all.

In the settings, you can set your “discussion languages”. Any posts and comments in languages you didn't select here won't be shown to you.
