Weirdly enough, the web UI doesn’t seem to be defaulting to English, even when it’s the only option. No idea if that’s an issue with Lemmy 0.17.4; I think a few fixes for different things are on the way for the next version. Honestly, Jerboa implementing the language option would solve the problem. I’m self-hosting this instance of Lemmy, but it’s the official Ansible install, and it’s worked pretty darn well so far. I don’t think it’s a configuration issue, but I can definitely fiddle with the config files if you think that would help. The admin setting’s language option is set to English as well.
