when i go to [email protected], both my posts asking “hi how are you” and another one: ‘what kind of music do you like”. innocent questions during a general purpose community get downvoted.

    Wait, huh?

    Users can adjust from their profile settings which language they want to see … posts are marked as English despite being Egyptian, so these posts get forwarded to English speakers

    TIL!

    Oooooooh. That’s what the language setting is for??? I never touched that setting. I also didn’t realize you could select multiple languages! (ctrl+click) Holy shit, thanks!

    I just selected English and Spanish as my languages and checked All. It’s still mostly just English posts, but it seems like [email protected] is new! Neat!
