    I ignore the existence of that and so far it hasn’t seemed to matter.

        Same lol. I managed to break both my community as well as the entire instance by messing with those settings. The UI could be a bit more user friendly on that imo.

        Right now the language selector has become the part of the admin UI that no one on my team is allowed to touch, under death threath, lmao.

        Same, I’ve just been hoping that I’m seeing all the content and it’s back to normal now

    Isn’t that just saying “most content is set to undetermined”? I.e. most posters don’t care.

    I think most users/viewers would have English and undetermined set, so it should be a good idea to use English for English content.

      I wish more posters would use it so foreign language posts wouldn’t show up in my All so much lol. It’d be nice if you could have a default language that set your posts to that and you could change it if you want. I imagine 99+% of posters will only ever post in one language.

        “Foreign” languages communities aren’t big enough on Lemmy for people to only post in them. Most people will post in English too.

          True, and I agree 99% isn’t true, but I don’t think 40% is either.
          I speak two languages fluently and have somewhat of an understanding of a third, yet have still posted 100% in English so far… and that’s not my native language.
