I’m only getting this error while trying to comment on the programming board here on Jerboa. Other boards work on Jerboa and that board works in the browser. My best guess is that it doesn’t allow “Undecided” and Jerboa is using that by default. On the browser I can select a language as I post but it seemed like one with the Undecided language posted still.

Is anyone else getting this problem or is it just me?

    I had turned on undecided earlier today (about 8 hours ago I would guess). Is it still not working for you? I might need to check the settings…

      This comment is from Jerboa. It doesn’t have a language selector when posting and as far as I can tell nothing in the settings. You can pick your languages but that’s linked to the profile and I guess for what you see. I have Undecided and English selected.

      Whatever language this comment is using is what I assume Jerboa is trying to use on Programming too and getting the problem.

        ok, so I changed the settings to allow Undetermined and English (your comment is in English). Can you try on [email protected] again?

            fantastic. very strange the language settings on lemmy. I’m not sure I understand them completely.

              Same here, and Jerboa being a little cryptic doesn’t seem to help. I see the “don’t unselect undecided” message all over and it’s scary lol. I think they just mean because a lot of people don’t select a language for posts or comments so it shows up as Undecided. So in your profile I guess you should leave Undecided and English (and any others) on but maybe I’m missing something. Maybe it’s just bad communication in the pop up messages.
