United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Don’t worry about it, doesnt seem to matter.
I think it’s more to do about when you are posting in a multilingual instance, some do. Lemmy.ml has a massive list of languages but I always select English anyway.
I can comment across many instances so I don’t personally think it’s related. Although I’m not expert.
Using Jerboa and I don't seem to be able to select a language when posting, which does stop me from commenting
Yes I experience the same thing, I get an error that says the language I've selected is not allowed
Sure the latest Jerboa update fixed it for me.
Not for me, still can't comment on certain other instances without using the Web Interface to select a language
