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.

    It’s an error related to the language selections in your settings. Ran into the exact same thing.

    I changed mine to include Undefined and unselected anything but English (for now), seems to have resolved the issue on my end.

    Seems like just a weird bug.

      I’m on Lemmy.world, but I can’t seem to select multiple languages unless I use shift-click, but that gets all the ones between them. That could easily just be a Lemmy.world issue, though.

    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 ;)
