Yes, that's the workaround: Set the UI to one language, post in this language, set UI to other language, post in that language. Slightly cumbersome for people who post in multiple languages.

In #Friendica we cannot set the language for a post? Strange, because otherwise it looks far more featureful than e.g. #Mastodon

In general, I like Mastodon better than Friendica, because I'm used to it. I disliked Mastodon 10+ years ago, because I was used to #Diaspora

In my favourite #socialApp, #Movim by @movim, I'm also missing language features, i.e. set language(s) per post and filtering my #timelime by language

#fediverse #i18n

There is an issue that has driven me nuts for a long time: How to use foo with bar, but under baz instead of the usual quuz. Yes, tricky, but now I found that #tutorial!

However, instead of just having a simple web page with the text (20 kB), there is a long-winded YT #video (10 MB), in which someone just reads the text.

500 times the #carbon footprint, no way to copy text, and much harder to understand. But better to monetarize. Only a #podcast would be worse.

Of all chat systems still in existence, only #Zephyr, #IRC, and #SMS are older than #Jabber/#XMPP:

Not sure, if "write" and "wall" do count

This resonates so deeply with me!

Which #freeSoftware do people use for #embroidery, esp. on #Debian, and which machines do work with it? TIA.

Why streaming #music in the first place? I have ≈ 100 days of music on my hard disk and just listen to that. No internet, no streaming, just music and #privacy

Short reminder of what yesterday's #Debian 13 #trixie release includes regarding #Jabber/#XMPP:

@myTerminal

Makes absolute sense.
#Emacs users tend to be awesome programmers, who don't need StackOverflow.
Therefore the intersection between Emacs users and StackOverflow users is empty.
