Most frontends (I don’t know any, really) doesn’t allow you to set a default language for your post. For that reason, a lot of frontends allow you to post without any language selected, while defaulting to English. But that is not universally true. Photon recently started requiring language to be selected and started defaulting to Undetermined language. This now creates unnecessary friction when the community doesn’t have it as allowed language and requires the user to select allowed language for every single post.
It really is a simple change on your end that will take you seconds, but can save a lot of time in the long run and some frustration for people that want to post in your communities.
On lemmy-ui frontend you can change it by going to community settings and under languages you can select multiple ones by holding Ctrl key.
P.S. This community is a great example of one that doesn’t allow Undetermined language.
I recently changed how language selection works, it’ll default to undefined then when you click “set language” then it will actually select a language
Great! Is that in a recent release? I haven’t updated my photon instance in a bit.
Love your work btw, it’s so nice to have a great UI with multi-account support for browsing/posting/modding at my desktop.
Yeah, it’s recent with a slightly changed design for the post page. (v1.31.3)
