"Undetermined" language seems to prevent seeing content in other languages.
As a noob this is likely me, but I tried to start a community on another server and I can't see the post (my other account used to make said community) made and set as english. Unless it's just me being a noob, that can't be good. A cursory look seems to confirm that I can't see anything aside from "Undetermined".
You should should choose both "undetermined" and all the the languages you want to see. From what I understand, "undetermined" makes it display posts for which the poster didn't specify a language.
I don't have any other languages to select on this instance besides Undetermined either. Seems like a configuration issue specific to startrek.website?
When I go to my profile on Firefox, there's nothing to change. All settings (and profile) are changed from the Settings menu, and in there there is only "Undetermined" listed for languages. There's no option (that I am able to find) to choose a different or additional language.
Ah duh, right, now I understand you; the dropdown in the comment box only shows languages you have selected in the account settings and you can't select any in the first place. Have you poked the admins about it?
This is my "poking" and so far I at least got their attention ( https://startrek.website/comment/222557 ) so we'll see how it goes. I can't imagine this being intentional, just a misunderstanding. Now, maybe it's tricky to change whatever setting that is, I don't know, but that's a different matter :)
Oh yeah I bet it's just a configuration issue, it's a new instance after all and I doubt the admins have run a Lemmy instance before. Not many people have 😁
Wait a minute, does this mean nobody on your instance has seen The No-Poop Post and you're all really confused by the memes currently taking over Lemmy as a whole?
