I see German and French posts everyday.

Had to block all the Dutch and German communities/domains I could find. Not out of spite and I still feel bad about it, but just so one thing in my feed would be in a language I speak.

And..for some reason, OP doesn't think there are enough Chinese and Russians on Lemmy?

I know there are Chinese users on Mastodon. But since I joined the fediverse last year, I didn't see any Russian user anywhere, or any Chinese user outside Mastodon.

With my user on Kbin, browsing /all, the only place I see international stuff is on c/worldnews, and not everyday.
