I’m able to comment in other communities just fine, but when I tried to post a reply to this comment in a thread in !worldnews@lemmy.world the “Reply” button just shows a spinner icon forever. I tried again, attempting to reply to this comment in a different thread from the same community, and the same thing happened.
I also tried subscribing to the community then posting the comments, but that didn’t change anything.
If the action had just failed because I was banned or something that’d be one thing, but (a) it’s hanging, not failing, and (b) as far as I can tell, I’m not banned from !worldnews@lemmy.world (or anywhere else, for that matter). It really does seem like some sort of bug, and a weird one at that since it’s affecting my interaction with only one specific community instead of all of them.
Huh. Yep, that had something to do with it! I usually make sure to set the language to English, but I guess !worldnews@lemmy.world apparently wants it to be left unset for some reason (not even “Undetermined,” but just left on “Select language”).
I guess my immediate issue is resolved by this workaround then, although I’m still curious about why it would be behaving like that in the first place.
Yeah, it happened to me few times and I noticed a pattern. I think it’s related to how the community was setup…
