Sometimes I get language not allowed when I try to reply to a post or message. Seems odd given that the post is in English.

    I believe this has to do with Connect not having a language selection dropdown when commenting. If I make the same comment that gives the error on Connect through a web browser, the comment will not post unless I select a language.

    This is typically caused by not having “undetermined” set as a language. If the thread poster has a language set that you don’t have, even if they post in English and you do the same, when you try to reply you get this error. This is a Lemmy issue rather than Connect specific. You’ll need to login to your account on the site you registered on, go into Settings, and have “undetermined” as a selected language.

    This comment would not post due to this.

    “Search YouTube. Lots of examples available”

    I assume it was the content but edits didn’t work so I gave up.

    Yeah that happens to me sometimes too. Sometimes I don’t even know what word they don’t like me using.

    They should tell you. But I’m guessing from my experiences that it isn’t my language, it’s a bug.

      It never occurred to me that it might be a filter for bad language. Is that a thing? I’m skeptical. I think you’re right that it’s just a bug. Don’t know if it’s Connect or Lemmy that has the bug though.

        I thought it was just a “you can’t call that dude a cunt” feature that subs can opt in our out of and they were just making sure I wasn’t offending anyone.

          Certain instances, such as Lemmy.ml, uses a filter that censors swear words but that’s different from this issue. My other comment in the thread explains the issue.
