Do I need to choose a language when posting on Lemmy?
I often manually choose English every time I post, but do I actually have to do this? Does this affect the ability of other users to view my posts, or am I wasting my time by taking this extra step on most posts and comments?
This is one of the things that could have been a nice feature, but the devs never fixed it as far as I know.
It should let you set a default, and options in the list should include 'detect from browser settings', and 'most recently selected'. (Default should be that one probably, but on the very first post it should detect it automatically.)
If they had done that, and encouraged the same in apps and other clients, then filtering by language would actually work and not exclude the vast majority of posts.
