phireskyPosting to Lemmy be like
so much for a picture of beans
ivanafterallSo sad to see this place fall off. Truly a shadow of its former self.
Jcb2016What do you mean? Kbin and lemmy are thriving?
Just a dumb joke about the lack of beans.
ThtevenBean the change you want to see in the world.
shiftenterI'm calling for a Lemmy blackout until the bean content returns!
exscapeIsn't that just saying "most content is set to undetermined"? I.e. most posters don't care.
I think most users/viewers would have English and undetermined set, so it should be a good idea to use English for English content.
TheAndrewBrownI wish more posters would use it so foreign language posts wouldn’t show up in my All so much lol. It’d be nice if you could have a default language that set your posts to that and you could change it if you want. I imagine 99+% of posters will only ever post in one language.

More than 60% of Europeans speak more than one language.
True, and I agree 99% isn't true, but I don't think 40% is either.
I speak two languages fluently and have somewhat of an understanding of a third, yet have still posted 100% in English so far... and that's not my native language.

Wasn’t trying to argue it was 40%, was just trying to give an example of why the “99%” figure was laughably off base.
“Foreign” languages communities aren’t big enough for people to only post in them. Most people will post in English too.
Yeah 99% was definitely an overstatement, honestly I forgot the fact that people would still post in English even if it isn’t their own language just because of how ubiquitous it is online. I still think the feature would help a lot and it wouldn’t make it any harder than the current state for people that do post in multiple languages.
SolivineThere needs to be a default posting language you can set in your profile
I had to play with these after I tired to post somewhere and it told me “language not accepted”. Setting English cleared this up so I could comment.
LeHappStickThose settings seemed to do nothing on my end.
At least I didn’t understand how.
