Unable to create post with uploaded image (self.lemmy_ca_support)

I've been attempting to create a post in !motorcycles that has an uploaded image as the URL. The image uploads fine, and I double checked the URL to ensure it's valid, then I enter the post info, select a language, and hit create.

I see the create request get sent over the websocket but it just hangs permanently and never gets a response, nor is the post ever created, so not sure if something is hung up or throwing an error on the server side there.

Edit: and obviously I can create posts in general, since this was successful...

could of maybe be the language isn't supported by the community you're posting to? maybe try again now that we're on the new lemmy version to see if it gives a proper error message now?

[–] Thracky 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yep you're right. Latest version shows an API error that the language isn't supported. The community doesn't have any supported languages listed so when I just left it as undetermined it goes through. That seems like a less than ideal default, but I imagine that's a Lemmy thing and not a server config thing?

yeah, it's a lemmy thing, and yeah, i agree, it's pretty weird. hopefully they fix it at some point.
