Talking about Web View: In your settings, you can select which languages you want to see. This is a multi-select box! Recommendation: Select all languages you want to see, plus "Undetermined"! Do not select languages which you do not want to see. This will block posts and comments in unselected languages.

If you additionally want to block whole communities, you can do so at the same place where you can subscribe. The block button is hidden while subscribed.

If you use one of the apps they usually have an option to block a person, community, or instance. Not sure if there is a shortcut or setting for foreign language you probably just have to block them as you see them.

That’s what I was thinking. I think I need a better app. Memmy requires you to open the community link so you can block it, a few too many steps. Would be nice to long press on the post to do this.

Connect For Lemmy allows block instance without having to enter threads

Is it Android only? Can’t find it in App Store.

I'm on android so I'm not sure

https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmyconnect is the community for it

I think [email protected] is proper lemmy link format

I don't think that instance is federated with lemmy.world though, so I can only see it with a different account. No idea if lemm.ee is.

I like it! I like those Germans and all the ich memes. Jajaja
