Check the language setting of the post if you're using the web-UI. If it's set to English, then I think you have to also set the language setting of your reply to English.

I was planning to post the following: I just checked my Canada membership card, and it looks the same.
I wonder why the Canada version is English only instead of bilingual. Do they have a French version?
Thank you for your reply. I'm using the web-UI and I've already set it to English.
I tried again and confirmed that selecting English doesn't help.
are you able to post to other lemmy.world communities?
I tried San Francisco [email protected] https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected]
My reply went through smoothly.
I also checked mod log for the costco community https://lemmy.world/modlog/5125 and I found nothing related to me
definitely something to do with the language in the community. When I tried to post in that community, with English, looking at the browser dev tools, it returned a response of Language not allowed. Have you tried with "Undetermined"?
When I clicked “Reply”, the little circle on the button had been spinning and never finished.
If I left the Language unselected, or manually set to Undetermined, then my post could went through.
Thank you for your help! I've reported this issue to their mod https://lemmy.ca/post/7582235 and I'll mark this report as closed
yeah i think there's an outstanding issue where the lemmy-ui doesn't display the returned error messages in places. hopefully that's fixed soon!
Ah shoot. I knew it had to do with the language setting... I encountered it a couple months back so I had forgotten exactly what it was.
