No it isn’t, not in my client app :/

The selector is there, at least in Lemmy’s default web interface… but it’s a pain to use.

I think Lemmy should let you configure one language as default, and as many languages as you want for quick access. Then if you don’t mess with the “select language” menu, your posts/comment get your default language. And if you do need to mess with that menu, you’ll have an easier time finding the language you want, like this:

(Replace the languages in the “quick access” list with the ones you want.)

“Undetermined” should only appear if the user actively unselected the other languages.

Note by my example you should be allowed to tag a post/comment with 2+ languages. The OP is a prime example of that, sometimes content shows multiple languages at once and there’s nothing wrong with it.

Also note this should be separated from the configuration of which languages you’re willing to see, that already exists. Being able to read some stuff in a language is definitively not the same as being able to write with it.

I was just thinking about this recently, should be a setting during account setup that sets a default so far less is undetermined language.

I do whenever I post from the web interface, but Jerboa is not so accommodating.

I think Piefed automatically goes with the language you last chose.

I guess this is a Lemmy problem? The Piefed UI defaults to English for me, not “undefined” or whatever Lemmy defaults to.

Most times I try to do that, the post simply doesn’t go. I have to leave it without a selection for the post to work. Might’ve been a problem with my instance? Always using browser

Does it do something now? Didn’t used to.
