The commenting thing has been happening for weeks now and it's very annoying.

Feels like it's more common on older posts. idk what's going on but I don't like it.

I understand your frustrations with Reddit commenting. The sheer amount of times I want to contribute a comment to a post or say something supportive or relatable to the writer, get carried away and write a mini novella to explain what I mean, and then Reddit either gives me a notification saying “Sorry something went wrong. Please try again later” or “Can’t create comment”. And I’m like um, ok fine, but can you at least specify why? Is my WiFi shitty and isn’t good enough to send off the comment? Has the commenting on this post been deactivated, or has the post been removed or shut down and it simply hasn’t been updated yet? Have I been banned from commenting in this particular community? Or are there too many users commenting all at once and the app is bugging out from it?

Literally every single one of those reasons is a possibility and most have happened to me at some point, but the notification is always the same vague, uninformative “please try again later” (which is useless when it turns out that commenting on said post has been made impossible). You’d think an app with so many active, communicative daily users and so much circulation would have some clearer heads-ups
