I unknowingly deselected “Undetermined” at some point and ended up missing out on a lot of posts for the past couple weeks.
I suspect this happened when I changed my account settings using my phone. And here I was thinking Lemmy died or something 😅.
To fix this for myself I highlighted “Undetermined”, scrolled down, control+clicked “English”, then hit “Save”.
I haven’t had that happen to me yet, but it sounds annoying as hell. The “undetermined” language shouldn’t exist. That needs be a silent default. The user should be able select their primary language with a drop-down menu. The combo box would still exist but it’d be completely optional.
In your case it’d be nice if the “Select Language” drop-down was automatically set to the community’s default language. And maybe put a little red icon next to it when your language settings are incompatible.
