Think I have lost the ability to comment on other instances

Anyone else? My comments seem to just sit there and the circle icon keeps spinning but the comment never applies. Happened on various sublemmys across a few instances now so wanted to ask if anyone else experiencing the same.

Seems fine locally

Update: setting my profile settings to English has fixed the issue for me

If posting via the desktop or mobile webpage, I think you need to select English in the language drop down under the text box. I was having the same issue with my comments hanging but after selecting English they went fine. Within Jeroba I don't know, sorry.

This is it! I didn't spot that "select language" box there, I thought you meant the one in user settings. Thank you!

Ok, odd, for a previous post I wrote on Lemmy.world I can still comment just fine on that too

Thanks for this! Wonder if there's a way to make it default to something rather than having to select a language each time. Edit: If I select English on this instance, it doesn't post... I have to leave it unselected.

I fixed this by setting my profile to English instead of undetermined

Yeah I'm getting this too

Edit: This comment posted instantly though so local is fine

Yeah local is fine and I could comment externally a couple days ago

I just commented to lemmy.world about 20 minutes ago. This was via the Jerboa app and feddit.uk

Hmm I tried memes@lemmy.world but that didn’t work either
