Both instances are pointedly political and looking to spread their particular philosophies to the threadiverse. Moreover, their users aren’t exactly winning any awards for charm. Can we put it to a vote before they become a nuisance?

I just tried it on an older post and I just ignored the language setting and it worked fine. Is that not the case for you?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Unless someone else has the same language set, they won’t be able to see this. The percentages for users are supposed to be something like 2% English, 5% other, 93% undefined. I can’t exactly go for a discussion with 2% of Lemmy.

All users should have both undefined and their language(s) selected. I have both and see all. But it's also community dependent. Perhaps this one isn't set to both?

This. The page even mentions why you should never deselect Undefined; it's basically the default and most users won't actually tag a specific language in their posts.

Iirc this will be streamlined or at least less confusing with Lemmy 1.0?

You can select multiple languages. I have english, spanish, and undefined. Just hold ctrl down when you click the languages you want and they will be selected together.
