As this is about software problems related to language handling, its better to discuss on the Github issue tracker. Or use the existing communities !lemmy@lemmy.ml or !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml where more people will see it.

Anyway Im currently making some fixes related to language handling. The first two will be backported to 0.19 and published in a new version soon.

Great news, the changes look good!

The main pro of having a dedicated community is to be able to direct new joiners using !languagesettings@lemmy.zip rather than providing them a non-local link or a lemmyverse.link that might be confusing.

"centralize" aaand you lost me. Take your little power fantasy back to Reddit why don't you? The whole point of the fediverse is breaking down power and decentralisation.

I edited to "collect", hope that makes it better.

The main issue was that there were several conversations happening in different places: meta communities of instances, lemmy support community, growth communities like this.

Also being able to just point new joiners to !languagesettings@lemmy.zip is nice rather than providing them a link that won't be local to them.

There's no power fantasy here, it's mostly about communication.
