As a noob this is likely me, but I tried to start a community on another server and I can’t see the post (my other account used to make said community) made and set as english. Unless it’s just me being a noob, that can’t be good. A cursory look seems to confirm that I can’t see anything aside from “Undetermined”.
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! 🖖
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 😁
