Unless there is a specific setting for admins/mods to disable this feature: You should be able to.

Have you checked your instance settings? Maybe contact your admin?

never heard of it

Which app do you use?

the web app

Do you are directly on the website? I’d contact the support staff for your site (I’m through lemmy.world) , I’m guessing it’s an issue with the website you are going through

i only access to lemmy through lemmy.ml

yeah go through support on your site. they might have an idea

I don’t know why; you should be able to.

In the future, please read instance and community rules before posting. To wit:
