I agree. The best part of the fediverse is the diversity.
However, for someone who doesn’t speak this language, having it marked as English content is not helpful. Would be very nice to have content properly tagged as the actual language it is in, so that users can opt to see content in languages they understand, would be great.
I don’t have a language filter on, so this wouldn’t affect me, but language tags and filters exist for this very purpose, so it would be nice to see them properly used.
Depending on the UI/app you use for Lemmy, you may only be able to pick languages you have set on your profile (My mobile app lets me pick any language, but the default web UI (shown above) only shows languages on my profile).

Where do you see the ability to set the language?
