Absence explained

Edit: It's solved! I'M BACK! Original post follows for posterity:

I'm sorry for not having kept up with this place in a few days. I've been trying to leave comments on people's replies and posts but my Lemmy app keeps giving me error messages ("language_not_allowed") — and, no, I'm not swearing my head off. 😅 I think it's a borked language setting.

I'll look into finding a better solution.

Testing, testing...

Ahhh, that was it! The community language was only set to "English." I have set it to both English and Undetermined, as you suggested, and now it works! Cheers so much!!! 😂❤️❤️❤️

@SQHistorian

Hope you can find a solution! 🙂

Which app are you using?

SQHistorian@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Jerboa. But Cold Hotman (comment below) solved it! It was a community language setting problem and it's been fixed now. :)

@SQHistorian

That's great! 🙂

One quick question, since I am still figuring out how to interact with Lemmy via my Mastodon account: your posts appear to me without your usual avatar (instead I see the default elephant avatar). Didn't you set one in Lemmy, or might this be a Mastodon <-> Lemmy quirk? 🤔

SQHistorian@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Good question. I have no idea. I'll look into it. :)

Ah, uh... turns out I can't upload an avatar. I keep getting a json error. I think it's because my avatar png is too big. I'll think of something later. Not a biggie in my book.

Ah, ok, so it is not a problem on my end. Thank you for checking! 🙂

Ooh, is there a clever way of "tagging" someone like you just did with me? Or do I have to do it the hard way (i.e. go look up your user profile url and write out the markdown each time)? Just typing @cidney@social.city-of-glass.net doesn't seem to do what I would foolishly assume it would do...

Ahh, I didn't even know that was an option!

Happy to be back! 😁
