> I think the author should consider supporting other languages though

Maybe it's a moderation problem?

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable running a non-english service, as I feel it would be too hard to moderate it effectively (or at least until you rearch the point where you have paid or volunteer moderators fluent in both the "main" language (to communicate rules and policy clearly) and any other supported langage). You can try auto-translating foreign text but you won't necessarily get a good translation, let alone handle cultural references (not Korean, but e.g. [1])and so on.

I don’t think Lucian has needed to moderate yet, it’s been a small and positive community afaik.
