If it’s not, that might make some things not show up. I’ve never had a good grasp on why the language thing is the way it is with Lemmy, but hopefully that helps.
New accounts have English enabled by default, but I don’t think it was retroactive to older accounts.

Thank you very much for the explanation and the link to our webview version - turns out I had to access my full profile settings from my Firefox browser there. I was able to select “English” and also “Deutsch” (= german, my native tongue) together with the standard “Undetermined”. Unfortunately it couldn’t be done from my current app, but it worked pretty conveniently on my phone browser. Android phone with A 15 and the latest Firefox version for anyone wondering…

Nice, yeah I’ve tested with my acount and it’s definitely a language thing. I actually found out how to enable it on everyone’s accounts using a database command, so problem solved for everybody.
