    The bot set the language of the post to Bahasa Indonesia. If you don’t select a language for your reply (combo box on the left below the text entry box), it defaults to being tagged with the same language as the post you’re replying to.

      That may negatively impact visibility outside of the c/Melbourne area.

        Correct, and it also meant several people here didn’t see it until I told them to change their language filtering preferences.

        It’s also going to confuse people who’ve configured Lemmy to show Indonesian language content who suddenly end up with this in their feeds.

          It will need to be changed on the post, rather than people’s settings
