Admittedly the language thing is the most confusing thing for new users. Just leave it at undetermined.

But there is no place to change it. And when you are trying to post, you're not sure what to do. If you cancel, you lose what you wrote (obviously can save to clipboard), but even then in the app, I haven't seen a place to change the language even if I wanted to. It's one of those quirks that can turn lots of people off and want to go back to Reddit.

It's in your settings. If you're using an app that may be the problem. For sure, the first day or two I was confused by it. I have mine set to undetermined & English. The list is kind of odd how to select them. It's been set it and forget it. Definitely a barrier to entry because it doesn't really have an obvious purpose when onboarding.
