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”.
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?
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 😁
