Hello,

I think it would be possible to improve the user experience of the language selection box.

Now:

      Unfortunately, I’m not a web dev. I can only tinker with a few things.

        The list is super long, any good ideas on breaking it up? Or just allow typing to filter?

        I’m a fullstack dev, and I wouldn’t be opposed to throwing a PR up for something like this. No promises though.

          Typing to filter seems the best idea in my eyes. The only other possibility I can think of would be subcategories, which wouldn’t help much.

        And that’s why Lemmy development is slow, lot of people have suggestions, but only a few can implement them

          Do you mean I shouldn’t give suggestions since I’m not able to implement them myself?

          In that case, Lemmy should remain a project for web developers and not be open to the general public.
