Can't load .css and image files in django

I can't load images and css files in django, although everything seems to be fine in settings.py and in the home.html file itself... what can be a problem here?

In the static folder there are template, css and image folders.

HTML:

{% load staticfiles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/main.css' %}">
<title>Main Page</title>

settings.py:

    # Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "/media")
#MEDIA_URL = ''
#STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "/static")
]
STATIC_URL = "/static/"

Unfortunately, it looks like this: web page in Russian with no css formatting and broken images

django.contrib.staticfiles is not included in your INSTALLED_APPS.

Your settings.py should look like this (in INSTALLED APPS)

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

without that static files won't work even if everything else is setup properly because to django it's not installed even though it is (Technically).
