I’ve spent so much time blocking every subreddit from India but there just seems to be an unending flow of them. I must have blocked 30 or 40 but they keep popping up.
I get that india is a big place, but why is reddit pushing subreddits to me (someone who can only speak/read english) that are in languages I don’t understand?

Probably because at some point you either clicked on an Indian subreddit, or you used a VPN to make yourself look like you’re from India. I’ve not seen a single Indian subreddit. Somewhere, somehow you told the algorithm you’re interested in it, or capable of speaking it.
I never see them but then I never use the popular feed. Start using the home feed instead.
Its called an algorithm. You clicked on or lingered over a post that was either from one of these subreddits or was popular with people who use these subreddits.
I’ve seen three today alone. Weird.
Have you blocked or hidden major subs or users? I’ve found that once I started blocking spam and rage bait that Reddit started digging deeper to suggest content. I get a lot of Indian subs as well as some Filipino ones. I’ve never used a VPN with Reddit or visited either of those countries.
I’ve never seen one in my life. Reddit’s algorithms are weird.

Saaar superpower byb2020 saar!!!!
Most likely the algorithm somehow thinks you’re interested. And you are now.
All hail the algorithm.
You can turn off recommendations in settings. I stopped seeing them after i turned it off.
What… I never even see one..?
Never seen one in my feed
I like cricket, so I get some Indian subreddits suggested. Mostly they’re in English – which alas I need them to be. Some of them I am interested in and some of them are torrents of awfulness. So much like the rest of reddit really.
