If you can stand some uncomfortable scenes and general “Kubrick-weirdness,” and want an excellent social commentary on dehumanization and corruption, then yes. Although I have heard a lot of people prefer the book if you’d rather read it.

Thankfully Lemmy somewhat negates this with their ranking algorithm. “Hot” is the default for comments and “active” is the default for posts, which according to the Lemmy docs, both “Counterbalance the snowballing effect of votes over time with a logarithmic scale.”

Basically, if a newer comments gets some upvotes, but still has fewer upvotes than older comments, that new comment will still be shown near the top at first. Then after some time passes, the algorithm slowly shifts to sorting more by “raw” number of votes instead of taking time into account.

If you’re using Lemmy in a browser, you can block posts that contain certain keywords using uBlock Origin. I made a YSK post about it: https://lemmy.world/post/435133

I found that the “language selection” box was bugged on desktop and wouldn’t actually apply my settings, but when I tried it on a mobile browser, it worked and I no longer see really any foreign language posts.

You can double check if it worked by trying to type a post/comment and then hitting the “select language” box. If only your selected languages appear, it worked.
