I was trying to reply a post at [email protected] : https://lemmy.ca/post/1127818 , origins from https://lemmy.world/post/1020538

When I clicked “Reply”, the little circle on the button had been spinning and never finished.

I refreshed the page, and no surprise, my reply was not posted successfully.

Similar issues has been happening to me in the last few months, and now I finally wrote my issue report.

Is this issue due to our site or their site?

Edit: Closed this issue. See https://lemmy.ca/comment/4133550

    Check the language setting of the post if you’re using the web-UI. If it’s set to English, then I think you have to also set the language setting of your reply to English.

      I was planning to post the following: I just checked my Canada membership card, and it looks the same.

      I wonder why the Canada version is English only instead of bilingual. Do they have a French version?

      Thank you for your reply. I’m using the web-UI and I’ve already set it to English.

      I tried again and confirmed that selecting English doesn’t help.

        definitely something to do with the language in the community. When I tried to post in that community, with English, looking at the browser dev tools, it returned a response of Language not allowed. Have you tried with “Undetermined”?

          When I clicked “Reply”, the little circle on the button had been spinning and never finished.

          If I left the Language unselected, or manually set to Undetermined, then my post could went through.

          Thank you for your help! I’ve reported this issue to their mod https://lemmy.ca/post/7582235 and I’ll mark this report as closed

            yeah i think there’s an outstanding issue where the lemmy-ui doesn’t display the returned error messages in places. hopefully that’s fixed soon!

            Ah shoot. I knew it had to do with the language setting… I encountered it a couple months back so I had forgotten exactly what it was.
