We’ve been investigating some recurring issues with the user experience on the instance, and have traced it back to the way Lemmy handles language settings.
Here’s the TL;DR on how to ensure you see all of the content on this instance:
In your user settings, make sure “Language” is set to both “English” and “Undetermined”.
On desktop, you can use CTRL+click to select both options.
This will allow you to see content for which the author has not set a language, and content which has been set to “English”.
Thanks for the PSA! I’d seen the warning that not including “Undetermined” could prevent you from seeing content, but I didn’t realize you could multi-select!
The documentation on language settings is pretty unclear, and the UI is rather unintuitive, so we wanted to get the word out.
