~~I see folks crossposting but I don't see how to do it in my lemmy interface (lemmy.world) - I can choose a single community to post to, not multiple.~~ ANSWER FROM ELSEWHERE: In order to cross post, I need to first create the post in one community, then after I create the post, I can click the two nested squares icon under the title of the post (with the pop-up text "cross post") that shows up on mouse-over.
~~Is there a way to not have to select "english" every time I post or comment? I thought my language selection at account creation would take care of it.~~ EDIT: apparently the language I select at account creation is a global setting. Therefore, if I have set a language in my account settings, I can disregard the langauge selection option that is presented when I go to post or comment.
It would be great if the superfluous language selection option for posts/comments was rendered optional. I imagine that the number of folks posting in multiple languages is absolutely dwarfed by the number of folks posting in only their own language.
It is indeed tagged as English. Thanks. I would love to be able to "turn off" the post/comment language selection drop down menu. A feature that (I expect) few people use should not be cluttering up the interface. It should be an option that can be activated or deactivated from settings.
