I wanted to reply to this comment, but I couldn’t. It appears to be a user@kbin.social account that made that post.
Honestly, I’ve been having some weird behavior with regards to kbin.social federation here on Lemmy.world. I realize that kbin / lemmy wasn’t designed to be compatible with each other… but other Lemmy instances seem to be able to visit kbin.social communities just fine.
So I don’t know if this is a Lemmy.world problem, a Lemmy-software problem, kbin.social problem, or kbin-software problem.
When I try to reply to that particular post, it “spins forever” and never seems to post. (Kinda similar as the “forever spin” bug on big communities, except without the post ever seeming to be successful)
I’ve had this happen to me a few times today as well.
Have you gone into Settings to set your language(s)?
Confirmed that I am able to comment on that thread if I manually set the comment language to English, but leaving it as the default “Select language” makes it spin forever.
Thanks for the tip.
Error-reporting on the web-GUI needs to be improved.
Wow this happened to me last night, that’s good to know.
Yes. I have “English” and “Undetermined” both selected.
I got the same “spins forever” issue when I tried to make my last comment on my desktop browser. So I took my phone out, opened Jerboa, and tried to comment that way, but ended up getting the response “language_not_allowed”. It appears to be this bug: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1015
I finally got it to work by returning to desktop, and when typing my comment, hitting the “select language” dropdown, selecting english, and then posting.
