A few common issues:
"I'm not seeing all the content"
Lemmy allows you to filter out content based on the language, but some new users will set this incorrectly in their settings. Please see this post for help. You can also post in either this community, or languagesettings@lemmy.zip to ask for more help.
"I want to block posts with certain words"
It is possible to use uBlock Origin to do this in the web browser. See this post for detailed instructions.
