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.
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.
