Hello everyone!
Four weeks ago, we planted and reseeded our lawn.
Unfortunately, the ENTIRE lawn is heavily overrun with weeds.
The grass doesn’t stand a chance to grow properly.
Last Saturday, I sprayed Roundup weed killer on the lawn. The weeds are slowly dying and turning yellow.
The grass that managed to grow is still standing strong.
What should I do next?
How can I remove the dead weeds within 1-2 weeks?
Can I simply use a scarifier (lawn dethatcher) to treat the lawn?
I want to overseed afterward.
How would you proceed?

The plants and grass in our distributed excavated soil are extremely persistent.
It’s an old pasture area after all, and the vegetation grows right through a 1-meter (3.3-foot) layer of fill.
The neighbor has been trying to grow lawn for three weeks, while our area has already turned green again all on its own.

It’s good to hear that you’re managing the lawn areas well by now. Both of you posted photos where the grass tips show that the cutting tool is not sharp enough – sharpening it definitely makes sense.
A lawn is a cultivated area and requires quite a bit of maintenance. If you want something attractive but with less effort than a walkable green space, you might want to consider a wildflower meadow instead.
Since RoundUp was mentioned here: I think using biocides in a private garden is comparable to smoking cigars in a nursery. It used to be common but is clearly outdated given what we know today.
