I'm actually surprised he wasn't on TikTok before

I'm a computer science student, and I guess I forgot that I can just kinda...fix the problem, when it comes to open source software.

I would like to at least be able to. I could always translate it if I wanted to know what it said. And if I saw that there were comments I couldn't see, I know the curiosity would kill me. I just don't like blocking myself off from seeing content that I know is there.

That's what the language selector in Setting does. The problem is that it also limits the content you can view to only posts set as being in those languages.

In my profile settings, I can choose my languages. A couple gripes with the web interface of this setting:

  • I have to hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple languages. While this was clear to me since I use this keyboard shortcut a lot in other contexts, this would definitely be confusing or unclear for most users.
  • This setting should be split into two. As of now, it determines what content you see, with all other content completely hidden...AND it determines what languages will appear in the language selector when making a post or comment. There should be separate settings for which languages are displayed and which appear in the language selector for a new post (because I don't want any content to be hidden, but I want to be able to easily select English for any new comment). Or at least a setting for a default language for new comments.
