Interesting. I changed a setting to limit suggestions to the current category (as I didn’t want Korean infiltrating)… however, it seems to be struggling to recommend anything.
I’ve turned it off. We’ll see if it’s an issue when Korean comes around.

Users always have the option to mute the entire Korean category (which I intend to do), so it’s probably not a big deal. If you allow the user to specify their desired languages in Natively settings (not just a cookie-based UI choice), you could also sync that with the forums to auto-mute the category or something.

So, happy news on incorporating Korean into discourse:
-
I should be able to mute any language categories you don’t follow by default
-
Apparently, muted categories are hidden from the forum homepage and collapsed as below:
-
People who have both Korean & Japanese can be subscribed to both by default. Basically, updates should wrk

I’m glad I can still see them and indulge my nosiness 
I wanna see what other learners are talking about, even if we’re not learning the same thing

To be clear, if you mark the category ‘normal’ or ‘watching’ it will override my group default

Is there a way to auto-hide certain activity? I’m considering tracking my owned books on Natively instead of Bookmeter (since Natively has filter by type options), but I don’t want to inundate everyone with 100 entries of owned books. 
Second, is there a way to hide my own activity from myself? I really don’t want to see my hidden activity when I go to a book page.
Third, I think it would be nicer to look at the activity on a book page by type of activity. Since this is already on the book page, it doesn’t even need to list the book name in the area, which would save a lot of space. Something like what bookmeter does would be nice.
@brandon Let me know if you want official requests for any of these.

So no… you can only mark individual activities hidden. Maybe one day. Would be a reasonable product request.
If you hide an activity and then have the ‘don’t show hidden activities’ does hide your hidden activities:
Interesting. Another good product request yeah.

Ah… would be easier to find if it was in the preferences page instead of hidden in that menu.
I’ll make a product request tomorrow for the other two.

Agreed. As I’m playing in the preferences right now, perhaps i’ll add with Korean. We did briefly talk about this before with Audiovisual release.
As for spamming the activity feed, I really wouldn’t worry about it, it’ll be gone in a day haha. You could set your profile to private briefly if you were very concerned.

I’m still doing this, but the only thing stopping this from being perfect is the lack of edition support on Natively. I have no way of indicating that I own ご注文はうさぎですか? Complete Blend, which is a masterpiece edition that bundles two volumes in one (with larger pages and dozens of color pages). Perhaps one day!

I know, eesh. Edition support is pretty critical, planning to get it done next quarter… but we’ll see!
When we do have it it’ll make adding books soo much easier for me - just allow people to add whatever edition they want (automated) and then figure out how to map the edition connections after they’re added (manual, but could be crowdsourced)

@brandon I used to be able to edit my activities, I had a small pen thing where I could fix wrongly inputted data, now it’s gone and I can not even delete entries? Just hide them.

I got to work faster
You can still edit activities in the data manager. I should reincorporate that pencil to drop yuo into the datamanager, yeah 
You can access the data manager via the additional options / book editor pop up → toggle ‘basic info’ to data manager.

Just noticed a small bug, there’s a 0 in hrs that is fake and makes you re-type 0 into the field to save.

shouldn’t even require hrs! So i’ll just change that logic

I just started reading 1Q84, but Natively only has the 6-book version, while I’m reading the 3-book split (I think this is the e-book version). Should I just request that other version, since it’s practically impossible to track my progress with the different set?
4 Likes
What I do when there’s a situation like this is just approximate progress using the version Natively already has. So track half of Book 1 of your version with 1Q84 BOOK1〈4月‐6月〉前編 | L35, and the second half with 1Q84 BOOK1〈4月‐6月〉後編 | L35. You can change the total page numbers to match your ebook version too if you’d like.
Edit: it looks like someone who reviewed that book also had the 3 book version, you could also maybe ask them what they did and where they recommend marking the first half as finished and the second half as started??

Happy to add the 3 volume edition if it’s difficult to track. At some point in the near future, we’ll figure out a way to link all these editions together.
You can also take an approach like @meagstudies suggests, if that’s not too much of a bother, Totally up to you

Temporary User Library Outage Incoming!!
I am in the process of releasing the update for Korean. This will temporarily take out user libraries for around 15 mins.
A more formal announcement will come later.
Edit: alright, we’re 30 mins in, but it will take a bit longer to get all the library data backfilled. At least all the recent data is already filled in, so hopefully not too much of an issue now
