The message about choosing a language when making a post is not clear. Like, is selecting a language good or bad for visibility versus using the default “undetermined.”
What are the best practices for uploading an image on a post here, what about technical posts that need a gallery, gifs, mp4, etc.?
as far as possible sub communities: astrophotography, telescopes, bicycle, bikewrench, arduino, esp32, hardware hacking, fedora, Linux hardware, and electrical engineering were some I regularly browsed or participated in on deddit. Not that these are needed, but I wish I could drag these communities over here
If the choose language field were labeled something like ‘Preferred Content Language’ or ‘Preferred Language’ language, I think that would help. The ‘undetermined’ option could be renamed to ‘Any’.
(Apparently “undetermined” should actually be UNchecked to get more content, unless you alternatively check all boxes; e.g. if you check undetermined, post tagged as “English” won’t show up)
