When I try to reply to an existing comments I consistenly get “Error: language_not_allowed”

In a browser I get the option of setting a “Language” of my comment - which then allow me to post my comment. This option doesn’t appear to exist in Connect?!?!

    Which community / post are you trying to comment in?

        Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !linux@lemmy.ml

      Hehehe - apparently not consistenly anyway as I could reply to you :)

      I have marked all languages in my user profile using the browser.

        I don’t think the issue is your profile but the community in which you’re trying to comment into.

        The community mods are able to select which languages are allowed in that community. If they’re not careful and unselect Undetermined. or they only allow Undetermined, it will lead to that error when trying to post from an app that doesn’t define the language of the comment/post, or if the app tries to assign a language that isn’t allowed by the community.

        Sadly I don’t see any simple way to view which languages are allowed by a community unless you’re a mod there.
