What is the meaning of the warning: "Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content." next to the Languages setting in the Lemmy account settings? (lemmy.world)

I'm assuming that this means that if you select a language, you will only be shown posts of that specified language; therefore, if you choose an uncommon language, you will see very little content (I'm assuming the most common language that is used on Lemmy, currently, is English). The warning, on its own, is rather nebulous, to me.

Most content here doesn't have a language set. indeterminite language is just the default.

There are posts older than the language option. Those posts don't have a language set and ate therefore undetermined. You won't see those posts if you deselect this option.

Just make sure that Unspecified is selected as a language in your settings, in addition to whatever languages you can read. Don't un-select "unspecified."
