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.
It works for me, but some instances need you to select a language for your post or comment to be made. It could be an issue related to that.
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
test
The web UI is for sure working. Not sure about Jerboa though.
test
I can see your test.
Yeah, it’s the language selection, I have to choose English, but I can’t do that in Jerboa, doesn’t have that option yet.
The URL for the comment you want to reply to is: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/348087
You may have to choose English when you reply.
Yep, that was it.
Unfortunatelly, you can’t choose a language in Jerboa, and I have the language set to undetermined in my profile.
I don’t know if that’s something that will be fixed in v0.18 but it shouldn’t ever be an issue if it’s implemented well.
I’ve been sticking with the browser on mobile because Jerboa has more rough edges than Lemmy-ui. I don’t really have confidence in the Jerboa developers to polish it up anytime soon.
That is somewhat of a problem for me, I need an app, I can’t have like 5, 6 tabs open at a time, it just gets confusing after a while.
There are over a dozen apps on development. Send me a reminder and I’ll send you a link with a table of them.
OK, thanks for the info 👍.
Here’s a test comment.
For some reason, I can’t see your comment in the thread. I can see it in my inbox, but neither Jerboa nor the web UI loads the thread when I tap the chain icon to lead me to your comment in the thread.
v. strange (( sorry I took so long to reply, there’s no notifications and I’m not in Jerboa that often ))
It’s related to the language selection when replying. KBin doesn’t have an undefined language setting, so that makes compatibility issues.
And, for some reason, Liftoff shows the replies and the whole tread just fine (even this thread, cuz there were a lot of replies from KBin). Neither the web UI or Jerboa expand the collapsed replies (they show collapsed by default, as soon as I open the link to the reply), but Liftoff shows them expanded by default 🤷 (currently replying from Liftoff).
