In your settings, you can set your preferred languages - since you're on lemmy.world this link should take you there. You can hold control down to select multiple options if you're on desktop (and mobile should have a selection box pop up).
Though be sure to keep "undetermined" enabled, otherwise a lot of stuff will vanish. Also note that this only works for posts/comments where people have actually selected the correct language (if someone posts something in German, but marks it as English for example, it will still pop up).

Undetermined has a lot of English content, but also holds all the "undetermined" content.
While a lot of content disappears when disabled, I think this is exactly what OP asks for.
An alternative would be to block communities from non-English Lemmy instances, but that isn't foolproof either.
Lemmy UI adapts links to your local instance:
[Settings Link](/settings) becomes Settings Link
Ah, you are right - thanks!
