How the Ukraine Counteroffensive Can Still Succeed uk (time.com)
The “uk” there is what I mean.
Maybe the right term isn’t “tag”. There’s a separate field for “tags”, separate from the language.
I think – I tried editing one of my old thread submissions, using the desktop web UI – that if you click on “more” and then “edit”, you get a page where you can edit the thread. At the very bottom of that page, there is a menu with the language of the post. It’s right beneath two checkboxes for “18+/NSFW” and “OC” and to the left of “Edit link”. There is an entry in that menu in Ukranian (“українська”) for Ukranian-language, which I assume is what is presently-chosen for this post.
I don’t know if it’s a big deal right now, because I don’t know if language filtering presently works on kbin/lemmy or on clients, but if it doesn’t now, I would bet that sooner or later, it will be filtered, and so people might block stuff in languages that they can’t read. One of the first things I ran into was a ton of German-language posts, for example, and I remember people talking about filtering them out.
Thank you, that’s interesting.
Anyway, I have posted this with an app, using an account on another instance. So I have not found a way to edit this attribute. I will experiment with other options to find out how this works.
Well, it can be a kind of fun - to be officially recognised as a proud Ukrainian 🇺🇦
So, on my screen, it reads:

Ah, okay, gotcha. Yeah, early days for the Threadiverse, I guess, features still getting work.
