"About -> Limitations: ASCII only because it works everywhere" This should be in the features. It is the strongest selling point of the site as I see it.

I was surprised by this since it excludes billions of people, but then I saw it's explicitly an English-only forum

English with a limitation to ASCII. There are many words in written English or topics that are not in ASCII, though. Subreply also disallows non-ASCII names with "First name should use English alphabet".

Unicode should also work (close to) everywhere.

Oops! I made an account and logged out from within Settings so I could read over more of the about page, but I got stuck with Internal Server Error on the whole site. I deleted the "identity" cookie from site storage, which was an empty string after logging out. I logged back in and it seems to be working as normal. Other than that, I really like the vibe of Subreply, nice work.
