I am a volunteer with an all-volunteer CDR organization OpenAir https://openaircollective.cc We work on advocacy, public education and technical development of CDR methods. This is an opportunity to reach and communicate with a broader swath of society. CDR is a fast-growing field and I want to collaborate.

Thanks for the introduction!

Are you able to post further new messages here? Somehow for me this community seems to have a bug that I can't post new topics. Not sure what is causing this.

[–] CadeJohnson 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will try right now!

Can you check the language settings for this community? I think I have been trying to post explicitly posts as "English", which might fail if English is deselected as a allowed language in this community.

[–] CadeJohnson 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the language is "undetermined" and there is a caution message to not deselect that. But English should be allowed. For this comment I see "select language" and the only option is undetermined, which seems like it should be OK.

Hmm, then I don't know why it isn't allowing me to post a BBC article here. But never mind :)

A lot of communities have non-default language settings, which causes problems. The work-around I've found is to leave the post language blank on submission, and then edit the post once its saved to add the language later.

I tried this and it worked for me! Thank you!

yes?

Hmm, I see that you were able to not only comment but also post in this community. I have been trying to share an article here, but It just keeps spinning. I have honestly no idea what might be the cause.

Edit: hmm another link worked.

I've been trying for a couple days to make a new post here to CDR but it also just keeps spinning. Tried with 3 different browsers (Chromium, Iridium, Firefox). The first two spike the CPU just looking at the CDR page, while Firefox does not, FWIW. This CPU spike doesn't occur with other community pages. I will try Five's suggestion to leave the post language blank and edit it later.

EDIT: It worked!
