Comment on Why do my posts defaults to french language even though I had "undetermined" in my settings? How do languages work?

  This is my view of your profile: Image

  The last post I can see in you profile that says French was to antitaff@jlai.lu

  That community doesn’t accept posts in ‘unspecified’. In their API response, it says:
  “discussion_languages”: [47]
  47=French. If it also allowed unspecified, it would say [0, 47]

  So it may be that you’re selecting ‘unspecified’, but in order for it to actually post, it’s going through as ‘French’. This is probably better than just erroring.

    Hello, moderator of some instances on jlai.lu, that’s exactly this.

    The moderators have only allowed French as a language, which is why OP’s content is tagged as such.

    ok so maybe it defaults to french when I post on that instance, and then it makes it the default choice when I post elsewhere after?

      I think communities can have their own language setting?

      Seems likely, yeah.
