[Solved] Unable to reply to users from kbin.social

slimerancher@lemmy.world to Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world – 37 points –

I have noticed this couple of times, I can't reply to users from kbin.social. The loader keeps spinning, and if you refresh, the reply doesn't show.

Is this a known issue, or just some random network / system load issue?

Solution (also posted as a comment below) Select ‘English’ as the language for the reply, otherwise it won’t post to any instance that doesn’t have ‘undetermined’ in the languages or to kbin.social account.

Why is your comment highlighted yellow for me? (via lemmy.world web ui)

@alejandro it's a reply to a comment or post. If you never used third party apps and only official then that's probably why you haven't seen it before. All the lines you see are different levels of replies

Actually I was referring to the background of the comment being colored yellow instead of white. I think it's because it was recently posted when I saw it. It's not yellow anymore, but another comment here posted more recently did appear yellow until after it passed the 10 minute mark.

So I guess lemmy just highlights comments that are less than 10 minutes old. IIRC reddit had a feature like that for gold users, but it only did it after you already visited the comments section at least once.

@alejandro Got it you are probably referring to reddit gold were you revisit a post and all the new comments are blue.
