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.

    While true, you’d think with all the fancy algorithms social media tries to implement these days that it would use the general country and the default language as indicators. I guess that stuff only matters to them when they are feeding us ads.

      I mean, sure but then it’s not r/popular anymore. Any kind of personalization would defeat the point of the category. I’m sure you’re not getting Indian posts in your own feed (not sure about the state of personalization on r/all).

        No, Indian subs appear all over r/all either logged in or logged out and on various devices and IPb addresses. There should be a language filter, easy fix.

        People don’t go to popular to find out what’s literally popular on the site overall, they want to find new subreddits or see popular stuff they would like.
