Description

Is the user expected to understand what "rolling the dice with Random" means? When translating, I translated it instead as "discovering random articles". You might want to consider changing the original English version too.

Btw. in general I feel like the explore feed is a bit oversold by the app. The feed is nicely built, but the content options are quite limited for many languages at the moment.

Event Timeline

Users already familiar with the Random Article feature of Wikipedia will for sure get it. But new users? All of them? Not so sure.

If a consensus can be reached on what it should be changed to, then I'd be willing to implement the change.

I don't believe we've heard from any users who are actually confused by its meaning. You are welcome to translate it into a similar metaphor in other languages.
