       PSA since we have so many new arrivals :DMastodon has you set what language your post is in manually instead of doing error-prone auto-detection like Twitter does.In combination with language filtering in Preferences > Other, this allows people who speak your language to find you more easily, and people who won't understand your posts can choose not to see them.Make sure the selected language matches the language you're using! (If your Mastodon client has this feature. The web client does!)

       @eishiya oh I never saw this but I guess the default here is to autodetect. I guess you can change it in Preferences -> Other.

       @mmu_man Oh, interesting! I guess your instance runs a different version. On my instance, there's no auto-detect option, just "same as interface language."I remember it *used* to auto-detect and it worked about as well as you can expect, then that was removed in favour of the posting language option in Preferences, and at a later point, the per-toot option was added.
