Right now, Lemmy only lets you pick one language to see and forces you to manually choose a language every time you post. Because of that, most posts end up marked as “undetermined,” so filtering by language hides most content.
It would make more sense if:
- You could set multiple preferred languages to view posts and comments.
- You could set a default posting language instead of picking it every time.
- The initial language settings were auto-filled based on browser or system language.
This would make the language functionality much more useful.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can select multiple viewing languages. It's just slightly unintuitive in lemmy-ui: hold either CTRL or SHIFT (I forgot, apologies) while you select languages in your profile settings.
The default posting language/allowed languages are decided on community level by mods.
Edit: didn't want to just say unintuitive without offering an alternative, so: visible checkboxes would maybe be more intuitive?

Wow, finally I figured that out, thank you.

@flancian I don't have any news on this, except to say it's something that we'd like to do in future when there's bandwidth - it has a surprisingly large number of knock-on effects to consider in order to be accepted into the core code, and there are a lot of other things being worked on at the moment. So, no news as to when attention might turn to working on that, unfortunately.

For context, Facebook and Cambridge Analytics have already been accused of micro-targeting UK Facebook users ahead of the 2016 Brexit referendum, and more recently Xitter has been accused of amplifying far-right posts in Europe.
Little Tommeh fascist-Christian is just one of the far-right figures who are getting very agitated about the possibility of a crackdown on US social media.

Also ESPECIALLY Franchises and physical services such as fastfood, coffee, delivery, rentals, ride hail, Hilton etc. These are parasites. They underpay, use fake royalties and other schemes to export profits without or little tax. They often require a local to rent the premises and put up capital.Actually BAN the stupid parasites.

@randahl @masek absolutely, but right now we're just totally fucked in terms of reliance on AWS and Azure, essentially nothing in Europe will work if cloud access is disrupted. So digital services has an escalation ladder that is especially dangerous to Europe. I hope that changes soon, but it won't change soon enough
