Select “undetermined” and “english” in your profile language settings. Plus whatever else you speak, obviously.

This is a support question and as such is against rule #3. Please check the sidebar for suggestions on communities that would be a better fit.

I’m doing it exactly like I was doing it on reddit, that is, build up my personal home page with all the communities I want to see then I changed my settings to default to subscribed when opening Lemmy instead of All.

Every now and then I check the list of all communities to see if there’s something new worth following, that way it’s also easier to avoid communities that do a lot of spamming, overwhelming the smaller (more interesting IMO) ones.

try going in the Lemmy settings and select your language, but note that most of the post is marked as “undefined” so it probably won’t make a big difference
