Like when you set it to English in ya profile Settings you get this error message: “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.”.
When you post, when you make communities, that setting is everywhere and it’s just confusing the hell outta me and I’m scared to select English anywhere tbh
When I had it on English, I couldn’t even see any replies and comments at all anymore. Took me like a week to figure out why! 😱
Left this post on “Select language”, but when I added these last 2 sentences with the “Edit” option, without changing anything about the language, it gave me this error “Language not allowed” and I had to switch it to “English”.
After changing the language to “English” I was unable to see it from the 2 crossposts or the profile page. Like you can only see the crossposts from the original post, but the original post is not visible from the crossposts ;)
Had to press the “X”-button next to “Undetermined” to make comments and the “English” post appear again.
The idea was that people could tag their posts and communities with specific languages, so then you could skip specific language posts and so on.
However, most communities don’t specify a language, neither do most posts. If you tick english and untick unspecified, you won’t see basically all content because people don’t specify a language when they post, and 99% of English content is technically “unspecified”.
Basically not well implemented/used feature, best to ignore it.
