To answer your edit : you might have an issue with your languages: https://lemm.ee/post/57104315
- @nutomic@lemmy.ml @dessalines@lemmy.ml @sunaurus@lemm.ee wasn't the language issue supposed to be fixed in 0.19.9?
  
  You mean this one? It is included, but only has an effect if the instance has site languages configured. lemm.ee has all languages enabled, so new users should also have all languages enabled by default. I tested this just now and it works fine.
  The other thing is that Lemmy uses languages from Accept-Language HTTP header combined with site languages. If the instance has all languages enabled and the user has an Accept header with German, he will only see German posts.
  
  You mean this one?
  Yes
  I tested this just now and it works fine.
  Interesting, just to make sure, did you try to create a new user, or just used an existing lemm.ee alt?
  The only other thing is that Lemmy uses languages from Accept-Language HTTP header. If that contains for example German but not English, then the user will only see German posts.
  Where does this header come from?
  
  I tested the code locally.
  The accept-language header is sent automatically by the browser. You can configure it in the settings, eg in Firefox "Choose your preferred language for displaying pages".
  
  Hm, maybe something else happens in the account creation. I created a post on !meta@lemm.ee, let's see
  preferred language
  Ah, so that might be where the issue comes from? Isn't that a bit risky to only have let's say, users with Firefox setup in German to only see German posts on Lemmy, while most of them probably speak English as well?
  
  That is true, but Im not sure what would be a better solution. Show a language selector on the registration page? That would make registration even more complicated, and someone needs to implement it. Or prompt the user to change languages after signup? Again someone needs to implement it. Enable English by default for all new users? That would be easy, but there are also people who dont understand English.
  
  Also, I just checked on my account here on dbzer0 running 0.19.9, but it seems I can't just show all languages when only selecting "Undetermined" as it used to be?
  Now only selecting Undetermined seems to hide all the other languages
  
  Maybe leave the language configuration to the servers, and drop the browsers settings?
  That way generalist instances like lemm.ee could have all of them enabled, and for instance Jlai.lu could have only French, English and Undetermined selected?
- thx! i see all comments now!
  
  Happy to help! Just to check, you hadn't changed anything after creating your account, you were using the default settings?
  
  yes, i didnt change anything.
  it worked because i selected english i guess. undetermined was already on.
  
  Thank you for confirming
  @EllaSpiggins@lemm.ee @JuiceMachine@lemm.ee @beneeney@lemm.ee @Matt_Glan@lemm.ee @aris@lemm.ee you might want to have a look
