Finnish localization - some weird things (sopuli.xyz)

Is it possible to improve the Finnish localization? E.g. Joined is translated to "liittyi" ("it joined") which doesn't make any sense in the actual context for "being subscribed". I think "Jäsen" (member) would be better expression for clarity or at least "Liitytty" ([have been] joined).

Another weird one is "Viesti" ("message"/"communicate") for send message button. I think it feels like "a message" as a noun and not as "to message" verb. "Lähetä" ("Send") would be much more understandable for Finnish speakers.

I have been mostly doing the Finnish localization, it can be edited through Lemmy's weblate.

Okei kävin läpi koko sisällön, käänsin 2 puuttuvaa lausetta ja ehdotin parannuksia käännöksiin

Tämäpä hyvä! Pitääpä käydä katsomassa. Lemmyn käännös suomeksi on pääosin itse tekeemääni, joten parannettavaa varmasti löytää.

I think "vastaus" is better Finnish for "kommentti" and "valvoja" is better for "moderator". I sent suggestions submissions for these and a lot more. I'm still going to check the untranslated strings and also sent them as suggestions. you can go through them and add new ones soon.
