I wrote up a comment to a post on Mander, and there shouldn't be any blocks (unless for some reason I'm blocked from /c/palaeoecology for some reason which I see why I would be but please inform me if this is the case), yet when I click the Reply button to post my comment the little spinny animation never ends and if I refresh the page my comment is absent.

You need to select a language sometimes. Not all apps have this option. I recommend using the native web app over any app from an app store for this reason.

Thanks! I initially did that but when I found it didn't matter I kinda stopped...didn't realized it would be the difference.

I think that most content is posted without selecting a language, and so "Undetermined" is used as a default. These problems happen when you try to interact with content that was posted using a specific language. The system is a bit strict when it comes to language compatibility, but it does not produce meaningful errors to let us know what is happening. The languages that you select in your "Languages" settings will also affect the content that appears and the languages that are available to you in the 'Select language' drop-down menu.

Oh, I see.
