Comment on cannot edit my post b/c of slur filter?

I would copy and re-post. Leave a comment about why on the original, then delete the original post. The admins/mods will still be able to see that, so if they get curious about the re-post, they shouldn’t need to contact you in order to figure it out.
Alternately, re-post in another (related) community hosted elsewhere(another instance), then cross-post that to the original community.

thanks for the tip, but it seems to make no difference. I changed it from browser default to english. Simply tried to add the word “needed” to the end of the title, and it said “language not allowed”.

Its part of the web-page, next to/under the text-entry box. Normally, it should say "Select language /"

Oh, right! Indeed, I forgot there was a language specifier for the post itself. That fixed it. Thanks!
What a piece of shit software.

I think the servers got an update or something. Lemmy is beautiful, and I’m more happy that its getting updates than I am concerned that an update introduced a bug with an easy-enough work-around.
On the other hand, maybe you and I just accidentally touched the drop-down and happened to create this issue for each of ourselves on the same day. Oh, and I happened to find your post before hitting this issue myself. Stranger things have happened.
