So theres a warning “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.” which doesnt make sense to me when creating a post.

So, do I fill in english or do I leave it as undetermined/Select Language?

    I’d like to know too. And also if it’s important we set it, is there a way to make it default to English?

    Maybe during signup it should nudge users to set their language preferences.

      It might be an instance-dependent or user-setting-dependent thing, but I’ve noticed that my responses default to English.

      For the time being, I’ve set my language preferences to these languages:

      • Undetermined
      • Esperanto

      If my hunch is correct, my instance will detect that I haven’t selected a language for this reply and set it to English.


      Edit: It didn’t. 😅


      Edit 2: I’m stupid. The OP is talking about post creation, and not reply creation. My bad.

        I also noticed the comments here have no language assigned. I spent quite some time in comment sections where each comment was labelled ‘English’. After a while I stopped carefully labelling mine as ‘English’ manually, and nothing changed. Seems to auto-label. So I was confused that here they don’t.

        I’ll label mine manually just for the test.
