Am I the only one having problems commenting on posts made on this instance? (sh.itjust.works)

At first, I thought it was just a temporary glitch or something, but a few days pass and I still can't comment from any if my accounts (I have 5, 2 are on this instance). And I think it's only exclusive to the Main community, not any other community... the weird thing is, I tried from 4 accounts, the 2 on this instance and another 2, none of them can comment. In particular, I wanted to reply after this comment.

Every time it just returns a "language_not_allowed" error. This in Jerboa, I haven't tried commenting from the web UI.

EDIT: Now this is interesting. I'm in the web UI now and if I follow the link I shared in this post, it says it's a KBin instance and asks for my login credentials. I noticed there is something funky with the URL and I really have no idea how I'm following this community through KBin 🤨.

EDIT2: OK, I pinpointed the problem. The link to the reply leads to KBin because the reply is from a KBin user account. I can't seem to be able to reply to that particular comment (seems I can reply to anything that is from a Lemmy instance, but not KBin).

Here's the post.

Now scroll down and find a comment from a user named ScrumblesPAbernathy and try to reply to that comment, see if you get the same error as me (language_not_allowed in Jerboa, or just hangs in the web UI).

EDIT3: OK, the solution to the problem was to select English as the language in which you wanna write the reply. There is no such option in Jerboa (yet), but the web UI has it and if you just select English, the reply goes through.

It works for me, but some instances need you to select a language for your post or comment to be made. It could be an issue related to that.

Here's a test comment.

For some reason, I can't see your comment in the thread. I can see it in my inbox, but neither Jerboa nor the web UI loads the thread when I tap the chain icon to lead me to your comment in the thread.

v. strange (( sorry I took so long to reply, there's no notifications and I'm not in Jerboa that often ))

It's related to the language selection when replying. KBin doesn't have an undefined language setting, so that makes compatibility issues.

And, for some reason, Liftoff shows the replies and the whole tread just fine (even this thread, cuz there were a lot of replies from KBin). Neither the web UI or Jerboa expand the collapsed replies (they show collapsed by default, as soon as I open the link to the reply), but Liftoff shows them expanded by default 🤷 (currently replying from Liftoff).
