I will add to others’ comments, that although this is the default on the communities list, make sure the “Local” option is selected to see all communities on the specific instance or “All” to see all communities the instance federates with (in other words, all the communities it allows access to)

Then maybe it wasn’t for you. Or maybe it’s worth another shot. Try your best to make a good choice of what you want to do and if learning a language is one of these things and you believe Duolingo is a good way to do so, commit yourself and try again. And don’t worry too much whether it’s the right or wrong thing, it’s not a permanent decision (but if you decide on it, don’t abandon it too soon either).

Just my opinion, but I’d say it’s okay to give up on many, even most things you try, but not all of them. In other words, go and try new things, it’s the only way you’ll learn what you enjoy and what you’re good at. And then stick to a select few of them.

There are also a few tips to be given on how to stay engaged with a subject. One of them: don’t stress it too hard. With something that’s meant to be pleasant, don’t push yourself to perfection until it becomes a chore. Also, if you want to achieve a more distant goal, it helps to find something to keep you going (look into how Duolingo, the language learning app, keeps people engaged).

That’s what I said

About the current “pentagram” symbol:

However, its design is a little too complex to be used at small sizes, as you would in text or in a button. It’s also only available in image form, not as a typographical character.

We’ve used it as a tiny icon below posts from other instances and I’ve never found it problematic. I think it’s already too well established to replace just because we can’t type it. Besides, the three stars feel to me not distinct enough. Pushing Unicode Consortium to add it to the standard when the time comes is a batter way.

I do think however that it would be worth coming up with a proper name for the current symbol.

It’s all fun and games, until you need a warranty disclaimer.
