I've been able to post on some communities external to feddit.uk but not others. The Apple community on lemmy.world is one I haven't been able to use. When I hit post on my comment, it hangs. I'm also noticing some communities are totally blank or comments are missing when I view them from within the feddit.uk instance. I'm thinking there's some federation issues going on.

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.

Yes I've experienced the same thing. No pattern that I can see - some work some don't.
So far I haven't been able to comment on any other instance because I get "language_not_allowed" in Jerboa.
Looks like part of the issue is that Jerboa doesn't let you select the language of your comments. It worked when I did it in a browsed
I’m not using Jeroba, only the desktop or mobile webpage, so I think the issues are not exclusive to Jeroba.
I'm wondering if it is related to the configuration of feddit.uk
The latest Jerboa update fixed this for me. Or something did.
I'm noticing that when I view some communities in other instances from within the feddit.uk instance, it says there is 0 comments on every post, or I can't see posts at all. When I view them from an account I made on lemmy.world, I can see everything. I can only assume that this is related to the 'Undetermined' language option. Tom is this something you can look into please? Under Settings there is a Languages box (different to interface language), but we can only select English rather than 'Undetermined'.
Yeah this is my understanding, that if you do not have "undetermined" then you miss out on a lot of stuff
If you Ctrl+ Click English and Unspecified, it will select both. I've personally just clicked on the languages box, pressed Ctrl + A to select them all, so I can see posts in all languages. I had an issue at first where I accidentally selected only Undetermined and some Cyrillic language, so when I posted from jerboa (which I guess automatically selects the language if you have more than Unspecified set), it was marked as that language.
We have my pinned post on the main page now where this has been addressed, thanks. It was an issue for accounts created within feddit.uk
Just came here to edit my comment (and mention I didn't realise this was an instance-specific issue) after seeing that, cheers!
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
