I have noticed this couple of times, I can't reply to users from kbin.social. The loader keeps spinning, and if you refresh, the reply doesn't show.

Is this a known issue, or just some random network / system load issue?

Solution (also posted as a comment below) Select β€˜English’ as the language for the reply, otherwise it won’t post to any instance that doesn’t have β€˜undetermined’ in the languages or to kbin.social account.

I am reading this from kbin.social if you want to test things some more.

Testing a reply to kbin.social

[–] slimerancher 2 points 1 year ago

It posted here, but can't post reply to couple other in my community... Let met try posting a long reply.

Both comments look good to me

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

Yeah, that's what's confusing. Replies to you are posting, but take the following comment as an example https://lemmy.world/comment/222313 , I have tried posting a reply to it at least half a dozen times. Even right after replying to you, but it just keep spinning and doesn't post.

Same thing with few other kbin.social in that community. Not sure what the difference is between your and that accounts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The plot thickens. On your test thread, I cannot see my comment that both comments look good, nor can I see this comment I'm replying to. I had to go to your profile (as viewed by kbin) and comment there. Also, as a test, I left a comment on that comment you couldn't and it worked fine.

[–] slimerancher 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm...

I saw your comment (in the thread I linked above), I have replied to you there. It's still spinning, let's see if that posts or not. If it doesn't, it could mean some issue with that specific community, but I don't know what it can be. If it does... well, I don't know what that would mean. πŸ˜€

Either way, unless I figure out the actual issue, or have some epiphany about it, I am going to give it a rest for couple of days. Maybe it's something that time can solve.

A long reply, copied text from Wikipedia's featured article:

Cyathus is a genus of bird's nest fungi in the family Nidulariaceae, so named since they resemble tiny bird's nests filled with eggs. The "eggs", or peridioles, are attached to the inner surface of the fruiting body by a cord of mycelium. Both surfaces of the cup may be ridged longitudinally, a taxonomic characteristic that has traditionally served to distinguish between species. Cyathus species are widely distributed across the globe, and some are found in most countries, although a few are localized. C. stercoreus is considered endangered in a number of European countries. Generally considered inedible, Cyathus species are saprobic, obtaining nutrients from decomposing organic matter. They usually grow on decaying woody material, on cow and horse dung, or directly on humus-rich soil. The life cycle of this genus allows them to reproduce both sexually via meiosis, and asexually via spores. Phylogenetic analysis has provided insights into the relationships between the various species.

This is really weird, I can reply to you, but still can't reply to kbin.social users in my community. Both are on lemmy.world, and my community is even much smaller than this community, so size shouldn't be an issue either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And I am replying from a completely different instance. Isn't the Fediverse great? (Even though I also noticed that comments from others on my own posts do not show up in my own instance)

Why is your comment highlighted yellow for me? (via lemmy.world web ui)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@alejandro it's a reply to a comment or post. If you never used third party apps and only official then that's probably why you haven't seen it before. All the lines you see are different levels of replies

[–] alejandro 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually I was referring to the background of the comment being colored yellow instead of white. I think it's because it was recently posted when I saw it. It's not yellow anymore, but another comment here posted more recently did appear yellow until after it passed the 10 minute mark.

So I guess lemmy just highlights comments that are less than 10 minutes old. IIRC reddit had a feature like that for gold users, but it only did it after you already visited the comments section at least once.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

@alejandro Got it you are probably referring to reddit gold were you revisit a post and all the new comments are blue.
