Can't submit new post
(lemmy.world)
Hi lemmy.world folks,
I'm having an issue creating a new post in !selfhosted@lemmy.world.
- Cross-instance posting from my home instance (https://szmer.info) only creates a post in my home instance's view of @lemmy.world. After 10 hours the post still doesn't appear on @lemmy.world.
- I've created a local (@lemmy.world) account and tried again - but then the Submit button spins forever. The post doesn't appear in the community.
- Using the "Photon" UI I get an error pop-up saying simply "couldnt_create_post".
To the best of my knowledge I'm not banned.
Do you know what coud be going on and how could I regain my ability to post?
Ah, I've found the issue. The ampersand character in the title was escaped to HTML entity (
&), which bumped the title length above the limit. I noticed this after posting the shorter title & trying to change it back.
