Recently stopped by unity connect and noted a huge proportion of the content visible in there is in Chinese. To the point that it would seem futile for an English reader to look for content in the trending section.
If you go to the articles section, regardless of your language/location settings you’re going to see over 90% Chinese content.
Opened a support ticket and what came out was, algorithm reflects user interest.
Unity Connect could be improved in a bunch of ways; still, looks to me that this is killing the platform, at least as a place where an international audience would go to learn about interesting stuff.
Or, have everybody English speaking already moved on? To where?
In my opinion this is a simple problem that needs to be fixed; as in, actually enforce the language settings; preferably language of submitted articles should auto-detect?
Note: written with all respect and kind feelings to Chinese, Taiwanese, Hongkong-nese and other Chinese speaking devs.
I actually visited there the other day as I was curious what was there after someone recommended freelancers go there. I wasn’t personally looking for anything but I encountered the exact same thing you did. It was all Chinese. Completely useless platform to anyone not in China.
There is. There’s both a language option and a region setting at the bottom of the web interface. Unfortunately, only applies to the UI, not the content.
lol.
