2·1 year agoWell I did a sort of poc I recompiled jerboa (in debug mode so I can keep official installed) after removing app/src/main/res/values-fr directory and I have this jerboa in English which I prefer, additionally there are layout issues with french version because the words do not correctly fit the allocated space on the screen, it looks far better in English. So if it’s possible to give a setting to change language for us poor old android users…
+1 Please give us the choice of the language in app, my phone won’t be updated to android 13 and I want to let it in french but I like IT related stuff to be in English… Otherwise I may perhaps fork and rebuild jerboa stripping out the translation files…
If this reddit change did not occurred, I probably never had tried Lemmy (even if I’m in OSS world for 20+ years now). First thought is that I don’t think communities going black or mods leaving reddit will do anything to reddit, it’s so big and alternative are somehow a niche for geek that they will not loose most of their user base. For mods they’ll find out some way … On the other hand, I don’t care, I’m happy here on the fediverse, I participated more discussion here in 1 month than in years on reddit. I had bad experience on my first posts on reddit (probably not interesting enough for some and then downvoted a lot), and I think that I just always thought if my post will be appreciated or not and so and finally just didn’t post. I don’t have this feeling here.
