UPDATE: Tom has now added the Undetermined language option to our instance. To make sure you can see the majority of Lemmy content from within your feddit.uk account, do the following:
Click your profile name - click settings - scroll down to the Languages box (not interface language) - hold down Ctrl (cmd on Mac) and select both English and Undetermined. On mobile browser: Tap the Languages box and make sure both are selected - scroll down and click save
You can also select any other languages which are beneficial to you.
If you don’t see everything listed in the box, try refreshing the page.

Original Post
When viewing profile settings, you will see a box which says:
Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.
On feddit.uk we currently have no selectable language option other than English. This means that (sometimes?) we will not see a lot of posts / comments on other instances / communities where the OP did not specifically select English before posting

• Languages: Select the languages that you speak to see only content in these languages. This is a new feature and many posts don’t specify a language yet, so be sure to select “Undetermined” to see them.
Ideally, we need the ability to select English (or whatever language) AND undetermined - you can select multiple, as long as they are available.
When I view X community@instance from my lemmy.world account (with Undetermined language selected in profile settings), I can see all posts and comments. When I view the same community@instance from my feddit.uk account, there are missing posts and often 0 comments on everything. This needs addressing if possible!
Thanks Tom, all my subscribe requests at lemmy.ml have suddenly gone through as well so I’d say this has solved a bunch of things simultaneously!
