I already toggle the Mastodon settings to ensure that I got the feeds to the language I want (I want English only) and I still got feeds on different languages such as German and French

I mute a few more non-English accounts each time I use Mastodon

again, if the person who is making the post doesn't change the setting, it won't get filtered. if they type a message in German but the post's language option is set to English (which I think is the default on some major instances), it won't get filtered out.

you can usually check what their post's setting is by starting writing a reply to them, as the language option of your post will switch to the one they post in.

That is why Mastodon is hard to get mainstream because not everyone wants extra effort to do this. Even, Twitter, threads and bluesky much better to filter their language content
