It seems a lot of them have popped up in a short time.

    You people are pissing me off by constantly saying the same things. I don’t know what I’ll be interested in until I see posts. Lemmyverse.net isn’t going to help me there. And since there’s new communities popping up all the time, I’d have to keep going to Lemmyverse.net like every other day. I don’t want to do that.

    All I want to do is hide the things I know I won’t be interested in. Like how it seems there’s a community for every sports team in the damn US.

    Either way, it’s not a big deal. My only frustration is that people keep trying to suggest non-solutions.

      It’s an artifact of the protocol. Because different lemmy instances exist and only federate here when someone from this instance subscribes you either need an instance that doesn’t block any federations and make that your home instance so the ALL designation actually encompasses all of your unknown unknowns or just settle for the ones people from this instance federate with. Either way, I think defaulting your language through settings is the easiest way to block the foreign languages content. The sports content is trickier to block because if you had like a browser plugin that just hides posts/communities with ‘Sports’ or ‘Teams’ in their titles you’d have the side effect of blocking non-sports related content (at least with the ‘teams’ one). I haven’t done any research personally into whether there are instances that have incorporated this as a feature or if anyone’s made a plugin like that though. Hope you find a solution!
