At first, I thought it was just a temporary glitch or something, but a few days pass and I still can’t comment from any if my accounts (I have 5, 2 are on this instance). And I think it’s only exclusive to the Main community, not any other community… the weird thing is, I tried from 4 accounts, the 2 on this instance and another 2, none of them can comment. In particular, I wanted to reply after this comment.

Every time it just returns a “language_not_allowed” error. This in Jerboa, I haven’t tried commenting from the web UI.

EDIT: Now this is interesting. I’m in the web UI now and if I follow the link I shared in this post, it says it’s a KBin instance and asks for my login credentials. I noticed there is something funky with the URL and I really have no idea how I’m following this community through KBin 🤨.

EDIT2: OK, I pinpointed the problem. The link to the reply leads to KBin because the reply is from a KBin user account. I can’t seem to be able to reply to that particular comment (seems I can reply to anything that is from a Lemmy instance, but not KBin).

Here’s the post.

Now scroll down and find a comment from a user named ScrumblesPAbernathy and try to reply to that comment, see if you get the same error as me (language_not_allowed in Jerboa, or just hangs in the web UI).

EDIT3: OK, the solution to the problem was to select English as the language in which you wanna write the reply. There is no such option in Jerboa (yet), but the web UI has it and if you just select English, the reply goes through.

    have you tried setting the language and not just leaving the default “undetermined”?

    i had a similar problem of not being able to reply to kbin replies on my own post. it was the language selection
