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 see there's a bit of confusion, understandably as different servers are set up differently from each other:
That should help visualize the issue :)
I don't have any other languages to select on this instance besides Undetermined either. Seems like a configuration issue specific to startrek.website?
Did you select some languages in your profile (or was it settings)?
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.
There's no other languages to select for accounts made here on startrek.website, that's the problem.
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 :)
How about now?
Perfect, thanks! ๐
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 ๐
From what I can tell, "Undetermined" is the recommended setting for all users and communities for that reason. It's a little unintuitive.
No, one should select all languages one can speak including undetermined. Without the options for English or other languages one cannot see posts in that language.
The results are still the same, not having other options as a user makes any external communities lose content. Is there a way to keep the local stuff as it is, but giving users more languages to choose from?
As far as I can tell, it's recommended, since you otherwise don't see posts made in other language settings, including those that are Undetermined.
There are probably some communities that were made without a fixed language setting, or were created before it, that don't have a language marked, and as such, if you don't pick "Undetermined", it may not be possible to see those posts.
I picked English and undetermined. I don't know what it does.
In this instance (at the moment?) the only option is undetermined. Try giving a look at https://lemm.ee/c/meta (from your own server, no need to look far) and then trying again after you have selected only undefined in your options. Pinned posts are marked as english, so those won't be visible anymore.
Or anyway that's the theory, again I'm a noob.
No worries, figuring it out myself. It's nice here though.
