Oh wow, so if I want to see English AND Spanish content, I would need to add both languages? Neat. TIL!
Oh, looks like that's not an option for me (lemmy.zip). Are you able to add multiple languages on other instances?
What's the issue? It should be possible on any instance. I added English and German.
I do remember my app doesn't support this, I had to do it through the website with the regular Lemmy web frontend.
On mine, there's a dropdown to select your language. There is no option to add an additional one.
Desktop? Ctrl click the languages to select multiple.
Are you looking at the drop-down for your comment? I'm taking about your account settings. Go to https://lemmy.zip/settings and there should be a list view for Languages that you can multi-select.
Posts and comments where the author doesn't select a language use undetermined. So you need to also select that to see all those posts.
You should be able to log in using your browser, even on mobile, and set it there. Then it should display posts of both languages even in your app, despite it not allowing you to properly apply this setting in your app. Just keep sure to also select 'undetermined' as most people don't bother selecting the language when they post.
Ah, I see it now! I was an idiot and only looking at the menu above it for interface language. Got it. Thanks for the help!
Ohhh I see how that can happen though. I am definitely guilty of just not reading far enough way too often hahah
