Can no longer post. What happened?

I'm using Jerboa and while I was able to comment initially, it first started saying "deleted" immediately after posting and now it says "language_not_allowed" and the comment is gone, irrespective of content. What's up with that?

You are viewing a single comment

It happens if you are replying to someone from an instance with strong language requirements (e.g. Kbin). You have to switch to the web interface to be able to select a language.

Annoying, but I'm sure the devs are aware of this

I just checked this with a comment from a kbin user I previously couldn't reply to and it worked immediately. Just had to select English language rather than leaving it blank.

Huh. When this happened to me I assumed they had some odd filter that assumed I said a bad word when I didn't.

AFAIK, there is no word filter on this instance

My bet is that they're trying to post on sh.itjust.works. The instance is explicitly English/French due to being based in Canada
