Set default language to English (infosec.pub)

What about setting the new language of a post to English? There are people that don’t know how lemmy works that keep on opening new posts and leaving the language to “Undetermined” by mistake so no one can answer them.

Fairly new too - why wouldn't you be able to answer if the post is set to 'Undetermined'. Haven't had any issues yet.

Unless someone goes in and changes their shown languages to English in their settings, threads with the default of English won't show. It even warns of that if you attempt to change languages in your profile.

So leaving it undertermined actually means more people will see it.

My issue was that Jerboa for Lemmy doesn't show the "Language" selection. I'll probably have to find another Lemmy client.

I just select English in the language setting before posting. It is at the bottom before submit when creating a post. The magazine or whatever has to be created with the language.
