Language barrier is severely hindering lemmy‘s growth (discuss.tchncs.de)

I just checked the github page and it seems this bug is low priority:

Memmy does sometimes not let you post or comment due to a weird bug that thinks you‘re posting in the wrong language.

I just want to point out that I‘ve had this bug twice so far and others (maybe many) will have it too which severely hinders the growth of lemmy at this critical time.

If someone reads this who has any clout, stuff like this is what can trip a promising platform like this. Exponential growth and all.

Have a good one.

I suspect you're fighting a feature built into Lemmy itself, rather than the app. I've been blocked for some arbitrary words before, but have not used Memmy as I'm not an Apple user.

Thanks for answering so quickly! :) Indeed, I am fighting a feature of lemmy which probably wasnt the smartest to even integrate but memmy is actually looking into this. The issue seems to be that you cant select the language while posting as you can in the web frontend. And sorry, I don't plan to stay an apple user for much longer. Stems from another life. :D
