So theres a warning "Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content." which doesnt make sense to me when creating a post.

So, do I fill in english or do I leave it as undetermined/Select Language?

I'd like to know too. And also if it's important we set it, is there a way to make it default to English?

Maybe during signup it should nudge users to set their language preferences.

It might be an instance-dependent or user-setting-dependent thing, but I've noticed that my responses default to English.

For the time being, I've set my language preferences to these languages:

If my hunch is correct, my instance will detect that I haven't selected a language for this reply and set it to English.

Edit: It didn't. 😅

Edit 2: I'm stupid. The OP is talking about post creation, and not reply creation. My bad.
