Title. The language of a post or comment is never displayed, nor can it be defined when writing posts or comments.
This leads to posts/comments with the language set to “undetermined” which leads to them appearing to users that didn’t select the actual language.

Edit: Additionally some communities seem to have started disallowing “undetermined” as a post/comment language, leading to Jerboa users being unable to post/comment. I’ve encountered !foodporn@lemmy.world so far.

    Tbh I feel like the language attribute is poorly implemented in lemmy, or at least in the client interfaces I’ve used. Why is it necessary at all?

      I feel like they planned for it to be a bigger feature and then put it on hold for more pressing stuff. The idea that I can only pick 1 language to see posts in is ridiculous.
