Are there any Lemmy instances that support all (or most) languages? (lemmy.zip)

From what I got (correct me if I'm wrong) you can only see posts in the languages that are set in your profile but those depend on your instance's languages. And it seems most instances don't support multiple languages. Filtering in lemmyverse.net, the only instance that includes smaller languages seems to be feddit.dk but it feels a bit weird to sign up there as I don't speak Danish. So do you know any other instances that support many languages or may do in the future or is most of lemmy basically English/Spanish?

I was about to say find a European instance due to the language culture here, but I see that you beat me to it :p

As long as you follow the instance's rules it shouldn't be a problem to sign up at e.g. feddit.dk. But it will help if you can tell what languages you are looking for.

Tbh I'll probably try there, they just seemed pretty strict in their sign up process :p. The thing is I'm not looking for a specific language but I'm into language learning and it would be nice to be able to see posts in eg. Spanish, French and Swedish without needing a separate account for each.

I suggest mentioning that in your application. The admin isn't strict, he just want to keep out trolls and bad actors. I can suggest sending this post through DeepL as the admin there discusses e.g. approval of applications. It might help you understand what is needed.

We do have one active Swede so Swedish is possible to see on feddit.dk
