Is the settings page broken for anyone else? I’ve tried to change my language and enable 2FA on both Firefox and Ungoogled Chromium. The button just spins for a split second, and then nothing. The language settings worked before the upgrade, so I’m wondering if anything broke?
It’s definitely a Lemmy issue. I had the developer console open when trying to save settings. I got a
400 bad requeston the JSON that gets generated by the save button.Cookie redacted.

{"error":"bio_length_overflow"}I’ve had the same bio since I started my account here, and nothing had changed except for my languages a few days before the upgrade.
Editing the bio to be blank and then pasting the contents back solved my issues. That brings me to a new question. @[email protected] is there a character limit on bio lengths that the frontend isn’t showing?
My issue is fixed, and I am leaving this up for anyone who has the same.
Edit: After more testing (see: removing one character at a time), I found the limit is 286 characters, including new lines and formatting.
