Why is Lemmy "Language" so confusing?
(lemmy.world)
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
I think when I had it on English, I couldn't even see any replies and comments at all anymore ๐ฑ
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.
