I decide which article I read by the level not the content.
ご質問ありがとうございます。
なかなか楽しい記事を探すのは難しいですよね。
さて、レベルで選んでいますと伝えるには、
I chose the article by its level not its content.
「記事はその内容ではなくレベルで選んでいます。」
I decide which article I read by the level not the content.
「読む記事は内容ではなくレベルで決めています。」
で表現できます。
いずれもby A not B. 「BではなくAで」
を挿入することでYUMIさんのおっしゃりたいニュアンスが出せると思います。
続いて、
I wanted to chose something light but there was only this article with Japanese subtitles.
「わたしも軽いのを選びたかったけど、これしか日本語訳なかったのです」
と説明をしてみたら納得してくれるやもしれません♩
ご参考になられたら幸いです。

I chose this particular article for its level, rather than its content.
I choose articles based upon their difficulty, rather than their content.
If we only ever read things relevant to our interests, we would not have a very balanced view of the world. This is a good reason to read articles outside our normal interests.
A more practical reason to read such articles is because of their difficulty level. It is important that we read articles that have been written at a level that allows us to understand and learn.
This sentence is explaining that you had chosen a certain article because of its 'level' and not for the content of the article, by saying you had chosen it for the level is explaining that you chose it for its easiness or difficultly (depending on the level, easy, intermediate or advanced).
'content' is the term used for the things / items held within something.
The way you choose things is up to you so you might choose a material because of the content or article or maybe becuase of the level it is
you would say 'I chose the article for the level not the content' this explains why you chose this material
人は自分の基準でものを選びますから、記事あるいは内容によって教材を決める人もいれば、レベルによって決める人もいると思います。
次のように言えます。
'I chose the article for the level not the content'（この記事は内容でなくレベルで選びました）
これは、その教材を選んだ理由を説明しています。
I chose the level of this content because I think the level suits me best
I feel like this level is better for my current level, however, the content is irrelevant
"I think the level suits me best" means that you believe the level of the article is more convenient. With regards to your level of understanding you are conveying that it will be relatively easy to understand."
"Better for my current level" means that it is more suited to your level of understanding depending on how advanced you are in the language.
"Irrelevant" is another way of saying that something is not important in this context
"I think the level suits me best" は「この記事のレベルが自分に一番合っていると思う」という意味です。「自分の英語力でもそれなりに理解できる」と伝えています。
"Better for my current level" は「自分の英語力に合っている」という意味です。
"Irrelevant" はここでは「重要でない」の意味です。
When I picked the article, I was paying attention to its degree of difficulty rather than what it was about.
The subject of the article is not what I considered when I chose the article, but I was paying more attention to its level of difficulty.

"Degree of difficulty" is another expression that you may use to indicate the skill level of the lesson, and it can be a more specific way to describe the skill level as well. A more relaxed and conversational term used for content is "what it's about"
2.
By saying the subject is not what one considered, it typically means that he/she did not pay attention to what the article was about when it was selected.
1.
"Degree of difficulty" は、"Level"（レベル）のより具体的な言い方です。
"What it's about" は "Content"（内容）のより口語的な言い方です。
2.
"The subject of the article is not what I considered" は、「選ぶとき、記事の内容は気にしなかった」という意味です。
