Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
I don't have a Reddit account but every day, Popular has a bunch of subreddits in a different language, Indian subreddits, or weird smut.
Thought it was just me since I'm not logged in.
With the recent announcement of openAI giving Indians free access for a year, just you wait, the AI slop is going to be taking over everything.
Friends has to be the most overrated TV show of all time. It's so painfully unfunny, and I can't help but judge a person when they tell me they're a fan.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
I judge them for the indulgence in nostalgia and having the nostalgia in the first place
There is no limit to my judging power
I have a general feeling about that for most sitcoms. I won't search for it on streaming, I won't time my life to watch em, and I won't even switch to em if I see them in a channel list... but if it's already on TV because someone else is watching...I guess I'll watch? Seinfeld, Fraiser, etc
I think I did like B99 much more, but still mostly saw it when my roommate at the time was watching. Not like I have any sophisticated level of humor; my favorite comedy shows that I actually rewatch would be Futurama, then maybe other less adult oriented cartoons like Phineas and Ferb or Gumball. I'm excluding things that are comedies but also are action/storyline driven, and keeping it mostly to "episode of the week" stuff.
Funny because this is me, and German subs on Lemmy. And it's hilarious because literally every time it happens, I re-read the headline at least two or three times thinking to myself "why can't I understand this? Am I drunk?"
I keep getting recommend weird anti-muslim British subreddits.
Im not even British.
Might be some hidden overlap in these problems
I don't think I could bear for one second browsing Reddit without having the subs carefully curated to my preferences.
India has nearly a billion internet users. Some content will be popular on a global level because of that. Filter by whatever little corner of the world you're in if that's a problem for you. There's enough space here for everyone.
true, but it's not like there are proportionate amounts of conspicuous traffic from Brazil or Korea which are almost overtaking many western user's algorithms (China is kind of exempt obviously)
Brazil and Korea have less than a fraction of the number of Internet users so they likely don't meet the threshold to penetrate an algorithm that will generally show Anglosphere users content in English.

I know! I feel the same way about American subs and American comments! No matter what the subject matter, no matter how interesting or even not interesting it is, most of the comments will be related to America! I wish there was some button to press that could purge all mentions of any said country, especially America. Yeah, we know you’re a racist fascist shithole, you always were, so well done for catching up with everyone else in realizing this, but I’m sick to death of reading about it. Give me some non-Yankee Doodle cats to watch!
Oh yeah? Well if you don't love America, you can just leave!
(Yeah, I know, but I just couldn't resist.)
So where are we supposed to go?
I typically lurk on All and see posts from the German language communities all the time. I don't have a clue what any of the posts mean but they seem fun. I hope the Indian subreddits are the same way.
I think it's hillarious that as I'm scrolling through Penney it's suddenly like: GERFRETSWHEILEZAUHAUERFLURGEN WÜT MAUKERWARPSLPOT
Then back to english
From my previous experience browsing Reddit, the Indian subs were obvious low effort, absurd memes or shitposts. I think the only serious one I saw was religious. 🤷♂️
E: a word
So you didn't see any of the political or regional ones? They have as many diverse topics as other languages.
Not that I remember. And I did spend some time trying to figure some of the posts out. Not sure why that was.
Uh... that's literally the point of r/popular, it shows you popular stuff.
If I don't agree with it then it's not actually popular. I wish the admins would consult me before choosing the r/all posts
Oh no, the country with three times more people than the entire Anglosphere is starting to have a presence on Reddit proportionate to its numbers. How horrible.
What a shame India doesn't have a government like China's to quarantine its people behind a firewall so you can keep pretending Americans run the Internet.
While there's undoubtedly plenty of racist pricks, the ability to filter out subs based on predominant language seems like a feature that already should have been available. I don't care they're there, I just don't want my pages cluttered with posts I can't read.
Do you ever wander into a Filipino sub and tfoggalo mpaktak angdoo wopadidamo ardvarawak?
