Summary

Summary. Was able to comment on this post.

Even created a reply with the word, "test". That is the deleted comment being displayed.

However, when attempting to write an actual comment, it sits and spins for ever.

After tailing the server logs, I noticed the below "language_not_allowed" errors occuring every time I attempted to reply.

I can confirm this. It happens consistently from lemmy-ui unless I manually select English, and it happens in Jerboa too (which renders Jerboa unusable, since it doesn't have a language drop-down).

The language implementation in Lemmy either needs to improve, needs better documentation, or needs to go. I understand the purpose of it,but half of the posts I cannot comment because of some misconfiguration either on my instance, their instance, their client, or my client. It seems clunky and overly complex.

Yeah I don't understand it's purpose either.

At very least, validation needs to go.

Same as #3451 which is fixed, closing this one.
