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.

    India has nearly a billion internet users. Some content will be popular on a global level because of that. Filter by whatever little corner of the world you’re in if that’s a problem for you. There’s enough space here for everyone.

      true, but it’s not like there are proportionate amounts of conspicuous traffic from Brazil or Korea which are almost overtaking many western user’s algorithms (China is kind of exempt obviously)

        Brazil and Korea have less than a fraction of the number of Internet users so they likely don’t meet the threshold to penetrate an algorithm that will generally show Anglosphere users content in English.
