language_not_allowed on English sub (self.asklemmy)

15 comments fedilink hide all child comments

hello, I am curious as to why I occasionally get the language_not_allowed error when posting to certain sub's. its in English, and it wasn't offensive or not-allowed. (I promise!) I'm still trying to figure out the federated system so maybe I'm doing something wrong for all I know. Are others getting this error?

Thanks for your help.

When you create a community, you set the allowed languages. If you don't select any of the languages, it says it may cause problems, maybe this is it?

I'm also new, so just figuring it out. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can correct me.

On Reddit, a well used way to get the correct answer was to post an incorrect one ;)

I've tried specifying a language but it refuses to post. Just infinite loading. What could that be about?

I'd guess servers are falling over with a lot more requests than normal following spez's klutzing

true that! I'll have to try setting my language, didn't think it was required. thanks.

Does it do it in all communities? Or just one?

[–] ohellidk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I only have had that issue in one sub.

Sounds like mod didn't select the allowed languages, I guess
