language_not_allowed on English sub (self.asklemmy)

hello, I am curious as to why I occasionally get the language_not_allowed error when posting to certain sub's. its in English, and it wasn't offensive or not-allowed. (I promise!) I'm still trying to figure out the federated system so maybe I'm doing something wrong for all I know. Are others getting this error?

Thanks for your help.

Hi you need to click on your user name and then settings and then activate undefined, english and all other languages that you want to see. Either undefined or english isn't activated for you and this means that you're posting in the wrong language.

Or you have already done this and just need to choose an appropriate language for the post.

can this be done using jerboa? I'm on mobile.

You can log in on your browser on mobile and change it real quick. I just checked mine and it was deselected with a big message about it causing issues. So I selected it and hit Save. 😂

hey I just checked for you, it doesn't seem like this setting is available in jerboa. You'll have to log in in a browser (mobile is okay as well), and go to settings there.
