Like when you set it to English in ya profile Settings you get this error message: "Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.".

When you post, when you make communities, that setting is everywhere and it's just confusing the hell outta me and I'm scared to select English anywhere tbh

When I had it on English, I couldn’t even see any replies and comments at all anymore. Took me like a week to figure out why! 😱

Left this post on “Select language”, but when I added these last 2 sentences with the “Edit” option, without changing anything about the language, it gave me this error “Language not allowed” and I had to switch it to “English”.

After changing the language to "English" I was unable to see it from the 2 crossposts or the profile page. Like you can only see the crossposts from the original post, but the original post is not visible from the crossposts ;)

Had to press the "X"-button next to "Undetermined" to make comments and the "English" post appear again.

There should be a multiple choice thing where you can tick multiple languages. Then you could have undetermined and the languages you speak. I don't post with the language tagged due to the implementation being crap
