It's always frustrated me how the only languages in the language selection drop-down on Hexbear are English and "undetermined", but if you select "undetermined" your post won't be created. I think this is because Hexbear wasn't originally a Lemmy instance, and so when Hexbear converted its software to Lemmy, language selection ended up being one of the features that was fucked.
I really should consider just switching over to Grad, because it's already happened to me that someone replied to me in another language, and then I just couldn't read that reply in the thread page unless I went to the other instance, on Hexbear it just got stuck in an endless loop of "loading 1 reply".
I don't really care obviously, I'm just having the craic.
The language tags don't really do anything currently (maybe they will in a future release, e.g. 'Filter by language')
It should be easy to detect language automatically instead of making the user choose it. There are established ways of doing that with n-grams.
The tags don't do anything...? Maybe I was wrong to assume that that bug from the other day was due to the language tag.
Wait I could've just done that the whole time????!!!!
