This is getting extremely frustrating. Every time I try to reply a reply on one of my posts, I get an error message that it isn’t working and to try again later. Doesn’t matter how long I wait or how many times I try, I still keep getting the same error. Can’t get much help if I can’t provide feedback!

If you tell us which thread is doing this, we can look for any reasons for what you encountered.
If you were trying to reply to an older post you made, it is likely locked. The Mods have not stated exactly what is considered "old" but, based on observation, it appears to be about three months.
Did you see this banner near the end of the thread?
Technically I was signed in. I use the link from the email (the one letting me know my post has a response), log in, try to reply, it says I need to re-sign in. I sign in again, exact same thing happens, to infinity. If I sign in without going through email, it works fine.
This screenshot shows exactly what happens.
If you are doing this from an iPad and you just logged in, you usually just need to refresh the page once, to get it to work.
If that does not help, tell us exactly what error message you are getting.
It can’t possibly be locked, I just barely created the topic. It happens with every thread I started.
Actually, I think I figured out the problem. It seems to happen when I follow the link from an email. I keep getting the error that I need to sign in again.

Yes, you need to be logged into the community in order to post.
After signing in on an iPad to the forums, you will need to refresh the page once to get it to post the reply. you will need to do this every time you first sign in to the forums on an iPad.
Refresh it once before posting or replying and it should then work.
It's been an ongoing issue for a while and has been exhaustively reported, but sadly no progress on fixing it has been made.
How do I fix error when replying to posts on Apple Community?
