Since Lemmy bugs out and fails to post whenever I forget to “Select Language”, I feel the need to select “English” every time. But why should I do this? I can’t speak any other languages.

Is there a setting somewhere that automatically sets “English” without me having to post?

Also, can the UI like… die / allow me to come back without forcing me to reload the page? Its incredibly frustrating to post right now.

    The spinning is a server thing. There’s an absolute onslaught of new people these days. Give it a few days to chill down.

    The language doesn’t have anything to do with that. This morning it took me an hour to update the sidebars in 2 my communities, later I couldn’t send a message for hours. Give it time.

    Also maybe try one of the apps. There you may get the opposite problem, posting when it looks like it didn’t go through. But it’s more reliable I think, which makes sense’s since it’s less load for the server. (I think.)
