I keep getting error:

Problem posting your comment. Please select a language in your lemmy profile settings.

I was able to reply to comments before, but not anymore. Why??

    Why do posts and comments need to have a language set? Seems like added complexity for something that doesn’t need it.

    Anyway, I just set English as my interface language and selected all languages in the second selector and that seems to have fixed it.

    Also before selecting the languages, I was not able to see any comment on this post. The comment counter said 7, but then it was empty. I guess it was because of the language selector. Is that how it works? Languages that you don’t have selected get filtered out?

      I understand that some communities only allow posts/comments in certain languages, but there might be a bug that sometimes allows it, but then prevents replies.

      In most cases, the default Interface Language of Browser Detected works, but seems like it wasn’t for you. Are you using an unusual device?

      Yes the Languages setting shows what Comments/Posts is displayed in Lemmy, so having nothing selected in there, or at least not having English selected in there would prevent you from seeing the messages.

      It’s all a bit clunky at the moment, I’m sure it will improve in time.

          Weird, yep I’m on iOS too. Hopefully that patch aeharding linked to fixes the issue and gets implemented into our Lemmy instances soon.
