This is great! Thank you for taking the time to make it so.
Anyways, since you're into fixing Lemmy, may I make a suggestion? What about a simple script to fix the language selector annoyance that plagues this platform?
I've to choose the post language at every single post/comment I write. Since Lemmy developers seem to be inept when it comes to basic user friendliness maybe a script that selects "English" automatically would be appreciated.
Seriously, this is bullshit and the person who designed this should have a few points removed from their social credit score. Wasn't it obvious that a dropdown under settings to pick the default language was necessary? :P
Even worse, when I edit a comment/post I suddenly have to pick the language again.
Update: I just remembered that at some point I even filled this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2317
Thank you.
I really don't get that either. They went to the trouble of adding a warning in settings, that deselecting undefined from shown languages will hide most content, but chose not to add an account level default language option.
Yes, and they don't seem to care much: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2317
This should be as easy as
document.getElementsByClassName("form-select w-auto d-inline-block")[0].selectedIndex = 38
, I gave it a try and works on console but can't get it to select after DOM load. I'll give it another try once I have the time and create a separate script as this is outside the scope of the original script ;)Doesn't seem to work on mine tho.
